The only shortcoming is that I have to proceed forward. Clearly FF isn't the one contributing to the use of swap, despite what I had though.
One additional point: what is seen as swap usage isn't always swap usage, so to speak. For example IPC shared memory (shm) is sometimes shown as swap usage (it's seen as either that or cache) so just because your system says it's using a lot of swap, it doesn't necessarily have to mean there is an application that's using a lot of swap, it could also be an application that is using shm and it's just displayed as swap even when it's not
Just an additional data point for your investigation :)
Yes, I'm very aware of this as I have # grep tmp /etc/fstab .... varrun /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=0755,size=150K 0 0 varlock /var/lock tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777,size=20K 0 0 vartmp /var/tmp tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777,size=1G 0 0 and wonder if those allocations are enough/too-much and under what load they actually get pushed out of memory onto swap. After all, varrun and varlock are not the busiest of file systems :-) -- Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity.
