If you load average is 100, you need more than swap to fix the problem.

try 'sudo top' and see what's killing your system.

I'd be surprised if you installed server without swap, as well.  What
does 'swapon -s' show?

Second that one...

Something is very very definitely killing your system.

Is an internal machine, or one on the Internet ?

How much physical RAM is there in the machine
What services is it providing ? (mail/web/samba etc?)
The output of top - does it show many instances of a single process ???
(e.g. 60 instances of httpd)

Just for the record, no need for sudo here, top as your average Joe user
works just the same ...

normally id agree but id his load average is that high using stem
bumps his nice level - hopefully enough to make it useable
