I've a 32MB 3.1R box with 11MB swap space (I should have more but that's the way it goes). It's currently been up about ten days and in that time the swap space usage has grown to 55%. My question is should it fall back to zero by itself after a period of inactivity (ala Winblows) or is a reboot the only way to flush it?
