Hi,
Doing a swapinfo I get:
Device 512-blocks Used Available Capacity
/dev/sd0b 84480 82792 1688 98%
/dev/wd0b 0 *** not available for swapping ***
And this number *never* falls even afetr getting rid of a number of
xterms etc... My ps agxv listing is:

Which is you ignore the mfs, the vsz's don't necessarily come to this much,
do they ? Am I missing something, or am I stupid (again) ?
