Nah, that's quite common...

Any movement in swap space that changes the size of the sweap file will do
it, and since the machine is moistly idle while defragging, it tends to
use the time to tidy up memory and swap out less-used pages.

Also, having any kind of data stream open, like a telnet/ssh session, will
do it.
