Mike Ruskai said to Darin Mcbride in the Os2 conference on 04-17-1998:

But why would the system swap out inactive system libraries when it
didn't need the memory for something else?  I have 64MB of memory in
this system and SwapMon has shown my default 2MB swap file as "in use"
only once in the past six months.
