For the folks using 1 gig of ram, you will have a bit more active swap than the 2 gig guys, as you can see from the various load figures posted in your findings in this thread.
Whats probably more interesting that you are leaving out is the IO to the swap partition itself. As we've beat this horse to death on the issue of allocated swap vs. active swap. If your load is light, then your box won't actually be any slower when the swap figure is higher. We will however look to remove the swap "bar graph" from the dashboard in the next up2date, (while of course leaving it present in all hardware graphs and detailed reports as it is currently), since the swap figure routinely causes us to have to educate users on linux swap behaviour, particularly in support where customers ask why it is high without having any real performance issues. You will notice swap may 'grow' and actually be used during the nightly maintenance, as during this short window the system is under load while doing the log rotation and report crunching.
I will see if we can get iostat added to the system so you can more closely tweak and see this. Keep in mind you will notice swap never goes "down" really, especially up and down like memory does. There is a reason for that. [:)]
