Answer to my own question: on 7500 routers when the "transmit-buffers backing-store" command is enabled and the transmit queue is full, packets are swapped from the MEMD into DRAM. If the command is not enabled (default) then packets are dropped. A high occurrence of "output buffers swapped out" simply indicates a lot of traffic. No problem there!
