But does this workload swap much?  'top' shows whether swap is being used
or, more drastically, turning swap off and seeing what happens will give
a rather positive indication.

Same question to the OP: when you're running the combo of red flow editor
and Chromium browser does 'top' show that swap space is being used?

Swap usage details are on the 5th line (last line of the header).
