All your uptime outputs show no swap being used, therefore you are not running out of memory. The fact that yoou see almost all your memory "used" instead of "free" simply means that the memory has been allocated to some processand has not subsequently been deallocated, because nothing else needs it. This is simply the way Linux allocates memory. Antony. -- Windows: just another pane in the glass.
