You have so many free memory. Why should swap be used? I have
a dual PPro SMP machine with 256MB RAM:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        257580     252320       5260      30420      80560     139448
-/+ buffers/cache:      32312     225268
Swap:        16060          8      16052

I have no problem with swap. But I have never used more than 10MB
swap.
