I have an AMD 850 based MB (Asus A7V) with 768 Meg of memory.
The swap file is 230 Meg. Up until recently, the system NEVER touched
the swap file (always stayed free) because I have so much real memory.
The machine would stay on for days with little or no swap useage.
Now with a recent kernel (2.4.16.2mdk-1-1mdk) and a week old Cooker
install I see the swap file is being used over time. Currently, I see
629M free from 768M RAM and 165M free from 230M swap.
I got curious so I installed and started flightgear, I have a 933MHz PIII and
256 ECC RAM at 100MHz, but no swap was used, as shown by k-procman, and the
sound from flightgear was coming for 3s and then was cut for some time back
for some seconds and then gone again.
ps aux shows that kapmd is eating all my power.
