The default Linux kernel settings will tend to swap stuff out to make more 
memory available for filesystem cache. You can lower the value set in 
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness to decrease this tendency. I don't think it's 
hurting anything, though; it just has pages it thinks can be usefully 
swapped out.
