A quick and dirty test would be using ReCache (see previous discussion
on mersenne, or mail me for the URL) and just checking when it starts to
swap. However, that would be rather hard for a program, but I guess you
could try to see just when the swap usage starts to go up, up, up...
Remember -- swapping isn't the only problem either. That spare memory is
used for disk cache.
