I can confirm this behaviour on both my laptop and my work PC.
My PC has 2GB RAM and I have configured a 4GB swap partition. With KDE 4.2,
compositing turned off and only a firefox tab htop says 2.7GB of swap are used.
That cannot be normal. My RAM is only at 450MB (excluding cached memory).
This is the output of free:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2051528 1763172 288356 0 12576 1290156
-/+ buffers/cache: 460440 1591088
Swap: 4257184 2774168 1483016
Swap usage is increasing only during normal use (I left the computer on
over the weekend and it stayed constant), but once at a value it never
decreases. Once the swap partition is full I experience an extremely
high hard disk activity, causing the system to become unresponsive.
