Following up on myself, here are some numbers:
Freshly booted 2.4.4 with X and Mozilla running, 'free' outputs this:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 62716 61280 1436 0 1820 28704
-/+ buffers/cache: 30756 31960
Swap: 160608 0 160608
Freshly booted 2.4.5-ac2 with X and Mozilla running, 'free' outputs this:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 62784 61784 1000 380 1824 35748
-/+ buffers/cache: 24212 38572
Swap: 160608 7128 153480
After running 2.4.5-ac2 (and other kernels after vanilla 2.4.4) for a while
the swap usage grows a lot, to around 60 MB. Older kernels didn't swap out
this aggressively in my experience.
This is on a 233 Mhz box with 64 megs of RAM.
