--- Comment #53 from Kristof Provost <kp@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to Diego Linke from comment #51)
> My last question is I had 79 Mb in free memory plus ~476 Mb in swap space=
. I wondering why PF as the last resource doesn't use swap memory to load t=
he tables.

Kernel memory, including that allocated by pf, will not get swapped out. We
wouldn't want to have to wait to process a packet until we'd read the relev=
ant
pf table back from swap space.
