Gkrellm is a gui and should show you graphical information, side-scrolling
bar graphs basically, it can be configured to show lots of stuff, but in
this case, its helpfull to see if anything abnormally high (such as CPU or
disk activity)

It does look like you are already using swap, but not a lot. I have a
computer with 512M ram, and the reason I dont use it much is because 512M
isnt really enough memory to do much. a few tabs open, and its starts
slowing down.

Your load average seems a bit high, I didnt notice anything else unusual.
