@qwertydotplus@mastodon.social @ryanc@infosec.exchange Nice details. I have always expected to see a small amount of swap usage from those anonymous pages. When I say a red flag above, I really mean heavy swapping.

@buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social sure, but if you have applications in the background that aren't actively using the data they have in memory (think, for example, the browser with tabs you haven't touched in the last few minutes, or the webserver that hasn't received any proper requests in the past hour), you want those pages to go into swap, so you can provide more memory to the things you're actually doing at the moment.
