You have a 2.4.2 kernel ? All (3) 2.4.2's that I compiled had that
behaviour, almost showing a preference for swap. Since using 2.4.3 kernels
(2), I'm back to using no swap. I have 256mb of ram. I believe if you
check the linux-kernel archives you'll see alot of discussion about how
2.4.2 kernels weren't releasing memory/swap properly. I didn't really
understand a lot of it, but it does seemed to be fixed in 2.4.3 kernels.
