I've just had a peek and apparently it's using swap memory right now!
Memory 1.5Gb of 3.5Gb used
Swap 658.9Mb of 3.7Gb used

Using swap is not a problem. Swapping is the problem.

It is unusual though to see half a gig in swap when less than half of
the RAM is is use, is it not?  For example mine has been on all day
and is still showing zero swap (I have 4GB RAM).  Does it not mean
that at some point something has been using a lot?

Not necessarily. It means some was _allocated_. Doesn't mean the box was
swapping heavily. I am not inclined to take those numbers at face value. I'd
rather see the first 10 lines from top pasted.

No, it wasn't
