Indeed it did. While have rarely seen swapping take place
under normal situations (GIMP, as I mentioned, will swap), it
was a bit nerve-wracking to see free memory dropping somewhat
low w/out any swap space. On the other hand, I did note that
garbage collection is much more aggressive when you don't have
any swap space!
