get into top. hit 'f' then arrow down to %MEM is selected. hit escape cut-n-paste that screen it should have the %MEM column from highest mem process to lowest mem process.
that will show the top memory users, and may explain why the machine is/was swapping. I have seen firefox do it, I have seen random processes lose their mind and suck up a lot of ram. I once had a 'bad' awk script that ate all of the free ram on a 1TB machine (some 500G).
