I'm now using swap again for the first time since my last reboot.
It's currently at 1036k, but that is guaranteed to keep increasing.
Here's what I don't understand.
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 978 731 246 0 164 226
-/+ buffers/cache: 340 637
Swap: 494 1 493
If I'm reading that right, I'm only *using* using 340MB. Why doesn't
the system get rid of some of the inactive stuff in memory so I don't
have to use more and more swap and slow down my system?
