It looks as if a large amount of your filesystem is being cached.  Does
the system or the application indicate that it is out of memory?
Regardless of what the free command says, I think you have alot of
memory available (the cache will be given up for application memory up
to a point).

What other applications or Linux virtual machines are running? What does
VM say about CPU Utilization?  Paging?
