Odd swap behavior

[Rajagopal Ananthanarayanan <ananth@sgi.com>]

I'm running fairly stressful tests like
dbench with lots of clients. Since the new
VM changes (now in test9), I haven't noticed _any_ swap activity,
in spite of the enormous memory pressures. I have lots
of processes in the system, like 8 httpd's, 4 getty's, etc.
most of which should be "idle" ... Why aren't the
pages (eg. mapped stacks) from these processes being swapped out?
