How much swap?

[Simon]

You may be surprised, but for monitoring of your desktop I recommend
the system monitor applet for gnome-panel, it shows you how much
memory and swap is in use in real time, and also shows you how much of
that memory usage is from cache, buffers, applications, and shared
memory.  You can see clearly how much is "real" memory usage and how
much is just disk caching.  The applet also can show CPU, HDD, and
network usage, and I definitely can't live without it, hehe..
