Hi Matthew,
The first thing you MUST try is adding more memory - increase it to AT
LEAST 1Gb Ram.
As you yourself said, the thing using most CPU is kswapd, so you should
add memory to drastically reduce or eliminate swapping before deciding if
you need more processors. In my experience Linux is NOT cpu hungry like
other operating systems, and memory is MUCH more important.
