Why is all my swap being used?

What's the output of ps aux --sort -rss

Thanks for replying!

I should note that in desperation I rebooted last night, and free -m now reports I'm using 157 of 255 MB swap.

I see 400mb being used by unicorn processes this doesn't leave much for anything else, can you reduce the number of workers?

I did not understand also the errors show. For my recommendation I think you should have to consult to an expert on that field so that it can be fixed immediately.
