You mean the Swap usage? Well, these are old programs which at some time
where swapped out. Nothing to worry about. If you'd ever run out of memory
(which is doubtful with 880 MB of RAM and such an astronomically gigantic
Swap file), it would be dumped to hold more recently used programs/data.
BTW: Not that it's any of my business - but what on earth are 1.7gb of swap
good for?
