Hi,
I am running Hipster 2021.04 with illumos-3f770aab81 and running System
Monitor 1.24.2.
System monitor is reporting Memory utilisation of 17.5GiB (27.5%) of
63.9GiB, however it is reporting 115.7MiB (0.7%) of 15.9GiB of swap it
being used.
I have always thought that swapping occurred when there is insufficient
memory for an application so another application or pages of an
application could be swapped to disk to free RAM.
Given that there at least 32GB of RAM free, surely it would not need to
page.

While it is only around 100MB can I tweak the system to avoid paging
when there is so much ram?
TIA
Russell
