    Well, it kinda looks to me like there's nothing wrong.  Are you seeing
    excessive paging activity via systat -vm 1 ?  If you don't see excessive
    paging activity then the fact that data has been pushed to swap will not
    have any effect on machine performance.  It just means the machine flushed
    dirty data to swap so it could be marked clean.  The data could still
    be in memory, in fact.
