One more datapoint - system has been up 1 day almost exactly.

Sitting idle in KDE session with just Firefox running:

htop gives 621MB used of 2004MB physical
Swap sits at 540 / 1027MB used

top gives me:

top - 19:38:12 up 1 day, 34 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.90, 0.50, 0.47
Tasks: 173 total,   2 running, 170 sleeping,   0 stopped,   1 zombie
Cpu(s):  5.2%us,  3.1%sy,  0.0%ni, 88.8%id,  0.0%wa,  1.5%hi,  1.5%si,  0.0%st
Mem:   2052240k total,  1916520k used,   135720k free,    14600k buffers
Swap:  1052216k total,   553548k used,   498668k free,  1261628k cached

So I have 1261628k cached, but the swap is still slowly being eaten up.
When swap hits 1GB, I'll have another episode of disk thrashing and have
to reboot.
