That behavior seems to be very dependent on the kernel you are running. For example, a Red Hat 2.4.20 kernel seems to really, really want to swap: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2064704 2053224 11480 0 9432 1212940 -/+ buffers/cache: 830852 1233852 Swap: 4176892 1597508 2579384 I would expect that system to be swapping, but not *nearly* that much.
