Hi Ober!

I temporarily bumped my RAM four times more than the original size on my
machine. Ran top saying the system is not swapping yet.

Memory: 113M Act, 964K Wired, 41M Exec, 18M File, 1096M Free
Swap: 1500M Total, 1500M Free

I ran the command above as root and saw a long output. Does this mean that
the space dedicated for swap is not flushed out after reboot and what was
swapped before remains there until it is overwritten by another instance
of "swapping/paging"?
