Try this command to see the top ten processes for memory usage. Post that to start with:
ps aux --sort=-%mem | awk 'NR<=10{print $0}'
Full disclosure, I stole that from another answer. Anyways, lets start there.

Thank you. Unlike htop or sudo htop, this really outputs values for all users. Apparently the Cassandra install i did last week and did not get around to doing anything with yet was eating up more than 26% of my RAM to do god only knows what with. Stopped the service withservice cassandra stop
and, hopefully, prevented further autostart withupdate-rc.d cassandra disable
