On certain occasions, the swapper doesn't seem to "release" or flush when I exit apps, i.e. I can load a lot of stuff and the swap increases (understanably), and then when I exit those apps, it doesn't flush. On a release machine, I used to be able to manually flush and it would be lower (consistently).
