Continuous growth of swap usage but RAM not fully used Dec 14th 2012, 01:00 I seem to be having problems with my computer using swap space even when there is plenty of RAM left. Currently I am using about 51% of my RAM and the swap usage is at 28%. It seems as though once it is using the swap space it never stops. Occasionally I am using a lot of ram and it will almost get maxed out, shouldn't it stop using the swap space and use just the RAM once it becomes free? This seems to be slowing my computer down greatly. I am using 12.1, and currently using kernel 3.1.10-1.16-default. Here is a copy of the current usage: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4053076 2844884 1208192 0 22400 1060352 -/+ buffers/cache: 1762132 2290944 Swap: 6289404 1730324 4559080 If you need any more hardware info or any other info let me know.
