Almost forgot, here's a screenshot of my RAM and swap usage. Cached should be the first thing to go to swap, followed by buffered if more room is needed. What do you know? Over 50% of my RAM is used by what SHOULD be in swap. And with the sort of stuff I do on my computer, I'd say maybe even 75% of it should be in swap. I've got multiple instances of Firefox, Banshee, Audacity, GIMP, and LibreOffice open under typical work loads. This is just background tasks and my backup utility running.
