The message I know is: Jun 15 16:22:30 papillon /kernel: swap_pager: suggest more swap space: 44 MB This is saying (not very clearly): You are currently using 44 MB of your swap space (and there are only 4 MB free). Consider increasing the size. FreeBSD is getting more swap-hungry. This is a sensible tradeoff: swap is cheap, and this approach allows significant performance improvements elsewhere. I'm beginning to think that 64 MB is becoming a minimum, and on my main machine I have over 200 MB without considering it too much (I frequently go up to 200 MB, particularly with graphics programs).
