I have found this article after I had another "freeze". Just before freeze free memory was running out, swap was barely used, buffers were few hundred kB, BUT CACHE was over 2,7GB out of total 3GB of memory. After about 20 minutes I managed to switch to VT1 and there was now about 500MB of free memory, less cache and increased swap usage. Last output of top showed kswapd process kicking in.

Googling gave me this thread:
