I've just had a peek and apparently it's using swap memory right now!

Using swap is not a problem. Swapping is the problem.
It is unusual though to see half a gig in swap when less than half of
the RAM is is use, is it not? For example mine has been on all day
and is still showing zero swap (I have 4GB RAM). Does it not mean
that at some point something has been using a lot?
Not necessarily. It means some was _allocated_. Doesn't mean the box was
swapping heavily. I am not inclined to take those numbers at face value. I'd
rather see the first 10 lines from top pasted.

Do you have a vast library of music, possibly on an external drive or
something? Google shows that, at least historically,
unity-music-daemon and the music lens have been problematic in their
use of resources.
By the way, you can use Ctrl-Shift-C to copy out of the terminal.

I wasn't sure about copying from a terminal output that won't sit still.
Yes my library is very large but shrinking. I used to be a DJ and now
I've stopped I have a copy of all my music on the hard drive, whenever a
song I don't like plays I delete it. I don't expect the end result to be
too big. I did wonder if that might be the cause of the gaps in
playback. It doesn't however explain why my antique laptop coped with
that or any of the other related issues that happen even when I'm not
playing music. Although I understand that the lenses in unity run all
the time at the moment, I did think perhaps the new approach in 13.04
might be lighter on the resources.
