Top says this about my memory usage:

Mem:    257144K total,   225800K used,    31344K free,    21744K buffers
Swap:  1068312K total,    17936K used,  1050376K free,   163552K cached

Which means that I have about 194Mb free (31Mb free + 163Mb cached)
memory. Three questions:

1. Why is there some swap being used (17Mb)?
2. How can I tell the kernel to free that up so that it's not using any swap?
3. Does it really matter?
