I do a mysqldump manually every night.

I just noticed that after it is done and I try to access the website it is very slow. After I take a look at the free -mh I notice that the server is now swapping when it otherwise wasn't before the mysqldump.

What am I to do in this case? Just restart the server every time I backup? That doesn't seem very effective.

My database file raw is 1.1gb after the dump.

What's actually using the memory? If you run 'top' and hit 'M' (uppercase), where is the RAM going?
