Package: general
Severity: normal

Swap usage prior to 2.6.26-2 upgrade was a relatively constant 0
Post 2.6.26-2 upgrade the usage is usually up into 300MB, not actively swapping 
however and doesn't seem to be affecting performance, but nagios is none to 
happy about swap being used.
The problem seems relegated to a handful of machines, although there may be 
some usage pattern I'm not seeing but otherwise there is no difference between 
systems that are "swap happy" and those where swap stays 0, same make/model, 
same build configuration, packages, client code, etc.

Like I mentioned, it doesn't seem to impact performance, but it is certainly a 
change from the norm.
See this on about 8 systems out of a couple hundred, and the same 8 will almost 
always start using swap slowly over time until a plateu is reached of around 
300-500MB, depending on the system.
