The swap is used for storing data you are not using to free up some RAM when a
program needs it. I don't think you can control how the swap is used, or how
much swap is being used. It depends on what role your machine is playing; is it
a file server? or just a worksation? My system has 96Mb of RAM and with 80Mb of
swap is more tha enough (I've never used more than 50% of it)
