Eh? I don't see anything in there pertaining to swap. Those load numbers
seem a little high to me, though. Maybe not.

I don't see where ps is going to help here either. That's telling you what's
running, but doesn't address the issue of swap that I can see...
What I do here is set up "top" to run on tty8, in the init scripts of each
machine I set up (there are currently three of them with a fourth one in
process). At the moment, the line in there that refers to swap reads as
follows:
Swap: 248964k av, 29680k used, 219284k free 27272k
cached
Dunno why that "cached" bit is on that line. This is with KDE up and kmail
_only_ running at the present time.
Yesterday is a perfect example of the problem. I had kmail up, and also
konqueror (where I think the problem lies), and over a period of hours the
swap used got all the way up to 111M! The area around 20-30M seems to be
typical when you first start it up. Opening the browser and loading a web
page will use some, opening more tabs will drive things up, and once you
get up into the 50s things start to get *real* sluggish, and you don't wanna
use it any more.
At the moment I've got another machine on, also on the LAN and working
through the same firewall, and that's got a lot more physical RAM in it, so
that's where konqueror is running. There's 320M in that box and the last
time I looked it hadn't touched swap _at all_. I have some more NFS tweaking
to do before I get to the point were I'll be wanting to use mostly that box,
but having started out using it, I haven't noticed any particular pattern of
RAM usage increasing. Right now it's at 291012k used out of 321044k
available. We'll see if it increases or what...
