How much memory does your system have?  If it's not being otherwise
used, it might grab that much for disk cache, but it will be reclaimed
when needed and shouldn't cause spilling to the swap partition.

How much swap is in use when this happens?  If it doesn't go up then
it's just normal disk caching using otherwise unused memory. If it
does go up then there may be a problem.
