In Need of a Reboot?

Hey guys,

Lately our site has been getting overloaded and I noticed some swap was used... not sure when, but that can't be a good thing, right?

Here's the numbers from top:
Code: 
 12:00am  up 211 days,  3:35,  1 user,  load average: 3.59, 3.96, 4.17
374 processes: 372 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states: 82.0% user, 17.1% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle
CPU1 states: 72.1% user, 27.0% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle
CPU2 states: 65.3% user, 34.1% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle
CPU3 states: 57.1% user, 42.0% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle
Mem:  1030560K av, 1011368K used,   19192K free,       0K shrd,   14088K buff
Swap: 2048276K av,  248984K used, 1799292K free                  593312K cached
The server is a Dual Dell P4 2.0 XEON w/ 1GB Ram and 2 SCSI HD. I was thinking it may be time for a reboot as a temp fix and then maybe add another 512-1GB of ram?

What do you guys think?

Mark
