It looks like you have about ~64MB of physical memory on your machine and
are using about an equal amount in the swap space which, if memory ( no
pun intended ) serves me, is the useful limit anyway for Linux.

Like someone in this thread suggests, I think you should do a ps to find 
who the heavy memory users are. I believe 'ps -am' will do it. 

If one process does not have a memory leak, your options are to:

- not load processes you don't need
- increase physical memory
- live with it
