Like what others have mentioned, the best thing to do for you is to add RAM 
since you mentioned the system has high utilization.

Anyway, the quickest way to add virtual memory/swap space is to use a swap 
file. For example, to add an additional 500MB swap space:

   dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/file/somewhere bs=1M count=500 
   mkswap /some/file/somewhere
   swapon /some/file/somewhere

To remove:

  swapoff /some/file/somewhere
