You haven't said how much RAM you have, but you're in serious  
bottleneck territory if it's low.

What it sounds like is that your system is rapidly running out of RAM<  
and then filling the 1.52 GB with swap files. with only 1.52 gigs of  
swap space you can fill that in a heartbeat, if your'e low on RAM.
