Keep in mind that 'swap used' is not an indication that machine is swapping. It is just fine to have some swap space in use, as long as only inactive components are there and is rarely accessed. What counts is the _rate_ of page faults requiring I/O (mainly WRITEs). Run 'top' and type 'm' to switch its display to io mode, here is the legend: VCSW Voluntary context switches IVCSW Involuntary context switches READ Number of blocks read WRITE Number of blocks written FAULT Number of page faults TOTAL Total number of i/o operations PERCENT Percentage of total i/o attributed to this process Mark
