Here is the top of top for one machine:

15:36:55 up 7:09, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00
48 processes: 46 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.1% user 99.8% system 0.0% nice 0.0% iowait 0.0% idle
Mem: 256992k av, 117644k used, 139348k free, 0k shrd, 36464k buff
50968k active, 51592k inactive
Swap: 514040k av, 0k used, 514040k free 61644k cached

PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME CPU COMMAND
7 root 25 0 0 0 0 RW 99.4 0.0 415:26 0 pdflush

Here are memory stats for the same machine. The other machine's stats
are similar; there doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary and
its not even touching swap if these numbers are to be believed.
