From the total of about 4GB of RAM, 1GB is free. But my system is extremely slow because of the swap that got created when I started VIrtualBox. So now I also run a 400+ MB of swap which is extremely slow on standard HDD and I do not get it why, because I still have 1 GB free memory. My swappiness is set to 10. See the memory usage in the screenshot. cat /proc/sys/vm/swappinessflorin@ToshibaSatellite-C650L:~$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness 10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: linux-image-3.11.0-18-generic 3.11.0-18.32 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-18.32-generic 3.11.10.4 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: florin 1726 F.... pulseaudio Date: Wed Mar 12 01:16:14 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=67290dc6-2f7a-446c-9e80-37b3e8688698 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-19 (143 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp.
