My 4 gig machine needs swap space... just to surf on internet.

Wow!
Then you must be running Windows...
I have currently 1.5Gb used, with ~30 tabs open, Kdevelop, a few
terminals and Thunderbird (and thunderbird takes the most ram!)
Firefox with ~70 tabs including an hour long youtube video,
matlab and ipython all running at once: Used memory + swap still
under 4GB.
It's worth bearing in mind that just because you've got swap
space being used, doesn't mean you're actually short on memory.
