But, it begins to use the Swap space.  Won't that slow down my machine
with unnecessary swaps?  Here is the top usage after 12 hours:

 07:44:52  up 12:26,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
63 processes: 61 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:   0.0% user   0.0% system   0.0% nice   0.0% iowait 100.0%
idle
Mem:   513852k av,  489292k used,   24560k free,       0k shrd,
188232k buff
                    380000k actv,   49384k in_d,   13292k in_c
Swap:  650552k av,     252k used,  650300k free
203808k cached
