Linux will in most default configurations use swap if it's available,<br>
by default it will attempt to swap out unused pages to maximise the<br>
amount of disk cache available, especially in an IO heavy workload<br>
like Myth.<br>
<br>
You will probably find if you increase it it will fill further<br>
(although with only 8GB main memory the amount it could pro-activly<br>
swap out would be less).<br>
<br>
Whilst there seems to be a memory issue here, using swap doesn't<br>
necesseraly mean you're running out of memory.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
