Better to shutdown all apps and Oracle; add more memory to the machine; and then bring up the box. Otherwise if you just want to recycle the apps and Oracle...shutdown everything and bring up Oracle and a subset of the apps (only the ones that are absolutely needed) and see if that fixes your performance issue.

Zak,
Yes. I feel shutting down application which is eating most of the memory free up some memory to delete swap space. Rather than shutting down box, its better option.
