This is a snapshot. The fact that 3.7GB of swap is used here suggests there may have been more memory used at some point in the past then we're seeing now; that's more what I was commenting on. A look at the si/so figures in vmstat should nail down whether that's still going on or not now, as Tom already suggested.
