Linux systems should use all available memory most of the time. That's because they "use" it to reserve it and make it available to the kernel.

You don't ever want to use disk-swap memory if you can help it; it's slow enough so every user will notice it.

It's only to keep you from crashing your system until you install more memory.

And because allowing phpsysinfo information availability to clients will probalby increase your support calls as your users ask the same question, it's probably a good idea to keep it password protected.
