That swap space is huge. I use the kernel patches of Con Kolivas,

He has done a lot on swap usage, and he recommends about 256MB and
says that it is unrelated to the amount of ram you have.

He has a special function called "swap prefetch" that make swapping
easier.

Of course at the moment I can't find the post where he made the 256MB 
comment.

It probably *is* huge, but I have sufficient disk space to give ample amounts to swap. However, I will try and understand why he thinks 256MB is enough. Thanks for the info.
