I have 4GB ram + 4GB swap. Is it possible the RAM is the problem if I
always have free RAM left and my swap is almost not used?
For example at the moment repack finished counting objects ("Counting
objects: 1742200, done."):

$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

-/+ buffers/cache:       3157        803
Swap:         6143        694       5449
