I got a 3 GB machine and yet it seems like it never swaps...

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       3089972    2958172     131800     400252     730488    1467792
-/+ buffers/cache:     759892    2330080
Swap:      4194272      59132    4135140

Over memory?  But when I have too many processes it kswapd tends to
take over cpu...but not much swapping happening -- could it be its
cleaning up garbage?
