If I'm reading that right its a server?
Nope, it is a desktop, but I have more server type services running than the average desktop user; some of them for the sole purpose of learning. And not all that uptime is real, I hibernate the machine when I go out.
I'm no expert but I think a server up time would be "used" different than a "production" computer. Not running fourteen or fifteen different applications, editing/creating large images and doing copying and pasting of large files.
I do that sometimes. It depends on the day. I may have 12 workspaces each filled with different applications. 1 GiB swap in use, and I have 8 GiB ram. Very snappy. There are some very memory hungry applications. The typical ones are thunderbird and mozilla. Another one is Libreoffice - but surprise, amarok is too.

It is even stopped at the moment... But well, most of it is virtual memory, and lots of that do not even exist; I guess that it counts holes or unused memory or assigned memory as if it is used. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
