I have the same Problem.
I have 384MB Ram but my swapfile is much used.
| total | used | free | shared | buffers | cached | |
| Mem: | 384404 | 297492 | 86912 | 1456 | 16252 | 145732 |
| -/+ buffers/cache: | 135508 | 248896 | ||||
| Swap: | 120452 | 86296 | 34156 |
That is normal here.
I use the older kernel-2.4.13-6mdk.
