Swap File Excessive

Breakingcustom
I just got a Daily Report and checked it and noticed the Swap File average was 49%, yet the average for the physical memory was only 56%.  The Swap should not be that high.  The unit is running 9.101-12.

    Swapping is normal and won't affect performance as long as the RAM isn't near 100%.
    If you don't want a high swap, reboot your device every day.
    If you don't mind, leave it as it is... [;)]

    If you notice peformance issues due to excessive swapping, your device has too little RAM for the features used in conjunctin with your amount of users and your internet bandwidth. Then you will have to consider a hardware upgrade or reduce the features used.
