Memory consumption is not load! And it's pretty normal that Linux uses
up all available RAM. Substract the current cache and buffer values and
it's more like the classic idea of "free RAM".
System load is independent from that and is expressed in the CPU usage
numbers e.g. displayed by "top" (I don't use Conky, so I've got no idea
how it looks there). When the "idle" value stays at 0%, your machine
_is_ likely under heavy load :-). This would also be expressed in the
average load display ("top" again), which would indicate with values
>1.00 that in average, there's more than one process waiting for the CPU.
