Your RAM having 1.2 GiB available does not actually indicate that RAM

If you were truly short of RAM + swap, I think you would see OOM
messages in the log.

I used to look at writes to the swap device as an indicator of
how much I needed to reclaim memory. There will always be a certain amount
but when it takes a step upwards at the time I added load, then I'm
low on available memory.

I have the numbers for Solaris around somewhere, but it was the sudden jump
that tended to tip me off.
