Is there a reason it's going this far into swap this far? system is System
is linux 2.4.0-test3

[root@innerfire /root]# cat /proc/meminfo
        total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 30593024 27238400 3354624 0 692224 15863808
Swap: 21151744 21106688 45056
MemTotal: 29876 kB
MemFree: 3276 kB
MemShared: 0 kB
Buffers: 676 kB
Cached: 15492 kB
HighTotal: 0 kB
HighFree: 0 kB
LowTotal: 29876 kB
LowFree: 3276 kB
SwapTotal: 20656 kB
SwapFree: 44 kB

On the bright side it seems to be still responsive when this far into swap
and it used to be unusable when this far into swap.

System is linux 2.4.0-test3
