As a workaround this will work for some time, but the issue why you have memory problems might still show up, can just take longer until the RAM is used up. But that depends on what you are running and how the problems shows itself.
Though additional CPU units will not help with memory issues.

So as the others suggested, you should investigate what is the reason for your memory problem.

And as blackrageous asked, there is no need for so much paging space. I would go for a fix Paging Space size of 5GB or 10GB. When your system starts to use it, the performance will usually degrade enormous and so the goal is to avoid that before it happens.

ffcfstress - constant force stress test for force-feedback devices SYNOPSIS
ffcfstress [-d <device>] [-u <update rate>] [-f <frequency>] [-a <amplitude>] [-s <strength>] [-o] DESCRIPTION
ffcfstress stress tests constant non-enveloped forces on a force feedback device. It simulates a moving spring force by applying a fre- quently updated constant force effect. Beware, the stress test may damage your device! OPTIONS
At least one option is required. -d <device> The device to test (by default /dev/input/event0). -u <update rate> The update rate in Hz (25 by default). -f <frequency> The spring center motion frequency in Hz (0.1 by default). -a <amplitude> The spring center motion amplitude, between 0.0 and 1.0 (1.0 by default). -s <strength> The spring strength factor (1.0 by default). -o Dummy option, useful when all defaults should be used.
