Comment 21 for bug 343714

I too have noticed that swap memory was being used when I still had lots of ram free, I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 and I have 2GB of ram, not sure how it acts with people with on 1 gig or less or ram, anyway last night I found an article on Novel website "Staying on Top of Your Memory Usage in Linux ", and I followed the suggestions, reducing swappiness to 10, so far I haven't noticed any negative effects and my swap hasn't been used at all. But this version of Kubuntu still seems to use a lot of ram.
