( What do you mean by swap rate? Just to say that when it happened that,
the disk was not either reading nor writting )

I don't think it's swapping. I have 384mb of ram and 500 of swap, and
swapctl says (now):

$ swapctl -l
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Priority
/dev/wd1b      512064        0   512064     0%    0
$

It has not been used during the whole day, it seems.
