In the context of swap page-in and page-out rates how large is a Linux
page? 4K? 512 bytes?

Rick and Martin were probably a bit too brief...

While swapping is done in full pages, the rate as reported in most
places (e.g. the si and so columns in vmstat) is in KB's (but since it
is an average rate, it's not always multiple of 4).
