Okay I am getting suspicious of tuxonice. Setting swappiness to zero
does not mean kernel wont use any swap but it should not be prefering
swap over ram when 2G of ram is out there either.
Just out of curiosity, can you find out which app(s) being swapped ?
I would give a try to gentoo-sources

Looking at the man page, I would think you are correct but I don't
see a example on that setting. I'll have to google for it I guess.
