The newer kernels must be using most of RAM for buffers or something because with 1G RAM my machine should really never needs swap. Yet here I sit with 16M into SWAP.
It doesn't grow ( far as I can tell ), but I sure would like an indication that this is normal behaviour. ==================
Jim, I am certainly not an expert in this matter, but I believe from my past experiences, 16mb of SWAP is not abnormal behavior. Maybe unusual because of a misbehaving program or something sometime. I have 512mb as well and seldom see swap touched, but occasionally it gets into it when cleaning up things in the system. Someone more knowledgable about the subject can probably clarify the matter for us, but I think you are ok there. If you see it continually using swap, then I would be looking for something, but I don't think that is the case for you.
