Lols! Sure thing. I was just trying to get a clear picture of what was REALLY going on. Since the swap could be cause by a number of other things. For instance: supose that VBox was not using all your memory nor creating the swap, but another process in your system. When you shut down VBox you released a LOT of memory (lets say, about 300-500Mb, depending how much you had reserved for it). So, the process that was swapping now has enough memory to stop swaping :) See? This is not VBox fault. This is why I was asking you fr this kind of details. Now, if this happened just once this could easily be the case. Maybe Frank or other developers will have a different opnion, but I think this has to be reproducible before investing time trying to debug a problem that don't exist.
