That does bring up a question. Sometimes I have some things in swap, even though there is plenty of free memory. Like now:

CPU states: 11.4% user, 0.0% nice, 6.9% system, 0.4% interrupt, 81.2% idle
Mem: 616M Active, 818M Inact, 243M Wired, 58M Cache, 112M Buf, 1264M Free
Swap: 4096M Total, 290M Used, 3805M Free, 7% Inuse
Why does it even use swap? Even if I close everything (other than X, gnome and the daemons) it stays there.
