What you describe in the bug report is exactly the same as what I see
on my 10.2 install.... and it's something fairly recent (say in the
last 6 to 8 weeks... from something that was changed in an update?).

One thing you said is almost a perfect description of my problem:
---
"The swapping behaviour is fine for 1-2 days, then all the sudden the
VM decides to swap out everything, and keeping lots of
memorycompletely unused!"
---
I'm getting this behaviour while using normal desktop apps... no cron
job doing backups etc.

I usually have plenty of memory available... less than half allocated
when the system starts swapping madly and slowing down to the point
where a reboot is the only way to recover normal behaviour.

I will look into free and vmstat tonight.
