Hi,
whoul you plase take a look at 'top' output (Ctl-M sorted by memory use) and
share with us the system lines plus following 10 lines. Note that the display
may may flactuate so wait a while to understand what is really happening and
then capture the output for us.

As a general rule, your cache size should have:
RAM size plus 20%
This is due to "save to cache" requirement for hibernation.
