Hello J.J.,

I think it was firefox who ate all your memory and the situation
returned to normal when it got killed.
I'm sometimes running into problems with firefox. It eats the whole
memory (1.5 GB) and when I unlock the screen in the morning I have to
wait almost a minute for my desktop returning from swap. Even
xscreensaver gets swapped so I have to wait for the password prompt.

AFAIK this is a known issue and it is being worked on by the Firefox
developers.

Regards,
Andreas
