I would try setting your swappiness to 10 or less. This will reduce how often your system uses the swap. I've found that this significantly increases performance. (Not sure why it's not the default.)
First check the current value on your system:
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
It's most likely set to something like 60. Assuming it is, test it temporarily with:
sysctl vm.swappiness=10
Assuming that did something for you, set it permanently by editing /etc/sysctl.conf, and set the property vm.swappiness to 10.
