 From the top man page [1]:

SIZE is the total size of the process (text, data, and stack), RES is the  
current amount of resident memory
(both SIZE and RES are given in kilobytes)

You should see your total RAM size in top as well.  To me it sounds like  
you're swapping a whole lot which make it seem like your system is hanging  
in an extreme situation.
