You're into swap, thats why its so slow, either get more memory or change your strategy.
The harddisk has 1,5G free space, it's one partition, ... Memory: 256816k/262080k available ... Adding Swap: 136512k swap-space (priority -1)
This is not a well configured server, nor is this the list to discuss why, but if you want to get a reasonable amount of performance out your hardware I suggest you research system setup & rationale some. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the words for it, before we know there are words, out we come bloodied and squalling with the knowledge that for all the compasses in the world, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure." -Rosencrantz
