You didn't tell us how.
I'd like to try...

I use `ahc' and my swap is as follows:
# swapinfo -k
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/da0s1b     98304    48336    49840    49%    Interleaved

I never experienced any memory leaking problems.

PS: So-called ``ahc reboot'' problem has been fixed in rev 1.5.2.5
of sys/pci/ahc_pci.c, and the fix has been included into 3.2-RELEASE.

Why don't you upgrade to 3.2-STABLE?!
