Is there anything I can do to lower the Swap and RAM usage?

so after you uninstall some crap try this:first install rootsh from extras devel.then go to the x terminal and type ."sudo gainroot" and then "apt-get install pymaemo-optify"after that xterminal shows your install cache which is useless and you can erease so type after all "apt-get clean"or when it doesnt work"apt-get remove"try this first and then restart your phone and look with conky what your cpu usage now is

oh jes and clean your browser cache too.when it all doesnt help there is only one think left but try these methods first

Thanks for your help so far, it is sounding pretty good to me!! I am just gonna do these few things and see what happens!!

Okay, I have done all of that. I have now also removed a few more applications and it's looking pretty good so far!!

Device CPU - 7%
RAM Usage - 58%
Swap Usage - 6%

Can only be a good thing, right?

jes its much better.your ram usage is standard linux works a bit different then windows its always at 50 percent. when it next time slow down then repeat the whole work.and dont forget that if you install a app and then uninstall it sometimes somethink be left in your phone so be sure that you need what you install.

Ah that's all good then, glad it has sorted it out!! I will make sure I run those lines everytime I uninstall anything, that should keep on top of it!! Thanks for all your help, to everyone who has put input in!!
