Maybe it had a bug or made updates of something that took cpu. As long as you don't fill up the rootfs completely it should not be a problem. A linux machine do not slow down with time like a windows machine.. thats the only logical explanation..
lol, are you serious?

Swap requires memory and cpu. You take away cpu, It leaves you with no performance. You take away memory and you have nothing. Cpu processes memory/data. o_O seriously do I need to go any further than this?

Not nescessarily, it could also be a hardware fault. Low memory, and a not so powerful processor.

Didn't you just say that "Memory and Cpu does not rely on each." Are you contradicting your self?

lemme get this straight? Linux = Immortal? No doubt that linux is better than windows but come on man...this is simply illogical. I'm not even going to provide an explanation.
