[snip excellent advice about Vim using less RAM]

Igor, this probably isn't responsive to you because you're running a
server, but RAM can also be saved by limiting browser tabs and using a
light WM/DE (Window Manager/Desktop Environment) such as Openbox or
LXDE (*NOT* Xfce, it's not light). Also, go easy on the VM's you're
running.
