I left my old desktop running since May 7, and just noticed that it was very noisy. I managed to ssh into it and found that it had used the 16gig of memory and 16 gig of swap.
When I left it running, I had a bunch of firefox windows running and top showed various “Web Content” processes consuming 15-17% of memory. Once I killed these the fan stopped, but I was left with the highest memory usage.
xfwm4 using 13.5% of memory and 2.1g in the RES column on top.
Still running if you would like any diagnostics done.
