/usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/150.exim-tidydb

But IMNSHO, running out of swap space calls for providing more swap space 
(and/or RAM).

Two or more small swaps per physical device 'spindle' helps reduce head 
movement 
as *BSD will use the 'closest' one(s) automagically.

Killing off tidydb could be expected to make the problem worse over time, not 
better, as an ever-growing DB size has to be waded through.
