That is not much and all it shows is that the image processing you are doing is using more memory than the configured tile-cache-size.

The swap file only resizes itself when tiles at the end of the swap file are freed. So you may have to free all tiles before the swap file resizes itself to zero. If if doesn't do that, then your script leaks an image or a drawable somewhere (or it calls a function that leaks).
