No, I did not saved it.
When I started the buildworld, I started in parallel already a poudriere
jail to build around 1600 ports. Later, when I realized that the
buildworld took so long, I stopped (killed) the poudriere jail.
IIRC the "swapctl -l" showed before the boot that the swap files have been
used.
I could re-create the situation on next buildworld.
