That is still normal behavior. After swapping out memory, Linux will
not swap it back in unless it needs to. I would consider 256MB a bare
minimum for a combined frontend/backend machine, so I would expect some
swapping. Even on my machine with 512MB, I have about 30MB swap used.

Looks like this has already been discussed...
