Please do not spread FUD. Swap should be working. If it isn't please come talk to me. In this case the issue is not the amount of memory used. Simply because there is some free memory and the VFS cache isn't at its minimum. A shortage of "low" pages also triggers swapping because the page daemon doesn't know how to flip pages, it can only write them to disk which require more "low" pages...
