I'm running 950922-SNAP, XF86-3.1.2. I ran a test and thought I saw
the same problem for awhile, but it eventually started going down
again:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/ksh
#
length=3600 # 1 hour
echo "starting $0" `date`
while :
do
echo; echo " time: " `date`
swapinfo
sleep ${length}
done
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
results:
