I think that too, I have 128 Mb RAM, this is my df out:
 ---

pstat -s: (with Firefox and xmms running, and other no so big things)

Output of ps -axl for xmms and firefox:
---

It occurs about 2 hours after websurfing and listen to xmms.
When executing top: firefox gets like 10% of CPU and xmms like 8%

I think it is the problem with my RAM and Swap as you say.

Thanks!
