It would really be great to see -what- the heck is going into swap. I have been monitoring with "top" for a few days now. It sits there without using any swap at all until I use mozilla. When it does use swap, it doesn't empty again. The amount of swap used just seems to grow, even if I kill the applications that initially filled up some swap. Is there any way to get more information about swap, other than the general memory use reporting of "top"?
