Hi Dirk;
You may want to read the whitepapers at linux-mm.org or check the linux-kernel archives for the last couple weeks before you return to posting on linux-kernel. There's a reason why most of the people who really know and care about the Linux VM subsystem have deigned your thread not worth the trouble of a reply.
Pat,
don't wanna be offensive, but: in my case it IS swapping heavily. if somebody dares to reply again to me, that it's not, i am cordially invite him/her to read my emails more thouroughly before i get a reply like "it is not swapping, it is only appear to be swapping".
the docu/manpages and the utils like top/sar/vmstat and friends should be updated asap. it's confusing and *also* the reason why some people might haven gotten numb about requests/problems like mine.
