2.4.4-ac5 seams to use the swap about as much as 2.4.4, which is less than
2.4.5-ac2. In my simple "freesly boot kernel, start X and Mozilla" test
2.4.4-ac5 showed almost identical 'free' output as 2.4.4:

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 62760 61368 1392 0 1828 28760
-/+ buffers/cache: 30780 31980
Swap: 160608 0 160608

Yes, I feel bad interactivety with later 2.4.4-acX kernels, and 2.4.5
kernels. Switching between apps and such feels a lot slower.

Let me know if you want me to do more tests.
