If your system is spending a lot of time moving data to and from swap when it is not memory-starved, or if it is stalling memory allocations that it should be able to fulfill from free RAM, that's a concern.


That is exactly it. I emphaises th words " when it is not memory-starved ". It isn't memory starved.

Also I get 150Mb frequently of swap disk space, whilst still having a complete third of my memory free!!

I can understand everyones view on this, that the swap algorithim is swaping pre-emtively. But 150MB?? Is that what is called a low level of swaping??

From the set of applications you listed, 150 MB doesn't even sound all that much. 300MB-400MB is the footprint I'd expect for that.
