Just an observation : when I updated Libre Office & Firefox this week,
neither compile used swap (I have  4 GB  RAM);
OTOH when I did them the previous time, both did use swap;
the total time & the HDD usage remained almost the same.
In between, I updated the Kernel 3.0.0 -> 3.4.0 ,
but made no other changes in config files etc.

Does anyone have thoughts re the effect of kernel versions on swapping ?
