So far I see nothing abnormal. My current top:

09:51:53 up 16:40, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.02, 0.00
56 processes: 55 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.2% user, 0.4% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% iowait, 99.3% idle
Mem: 124616k av, 114444k used, 10172k free, 0k shrd, 4k buff
53088k active, 46836k inactive
Swap: 76792k av, 1804k used, 74988k free 53632k cached

Can you show "top b n1" (unabridged) and "cat /proc/meminfo", "cat /proc/slabinfo"
of the "swap usage shoot up to 95%" event?
