I have 1GB ram and I burn multiple full DVDs a week, and I still don't
see much swap use:

# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1022200    1003080      19120          0     417560      39724
-/+ buffers/cache:     545796     476404
Swap:      2097144       4644    2092500

That's with 40 days uptime and having burned probably 12 DVDs in that
time.  Then again I don't actually have anywhere near 1GB in use so the
memory system is hardly under any pressure.
