It works much better now. Load less than 1. Fast response. And obviously 
no swapping. Thanks!

Will do.

It took rather long time to get rid of the used swap and response became 
rather slow, so I was forced to do a restart (and lost a few seconds 
uptime). I guess the best way to stop using swap, is by first do a 
restart of varnish and then "echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness".
