Process priorities and swap file usage are completely unrelated, so I
wouldn't expect there to be any corellation between the two scales.
IMHO the niceness values are damn confusing, when you want to increase
the priority you've got to decrease the niceness... I suppose it makes
sense when I put it like that.. :)
