Here's the current readout from free -m:

              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          2026       1975         50          0          0       1106
-/+ buffers/cache:        869       1156
Swap:         3812          0       3812

So, swap isn't being touched at all. Plenty of free physical RAM, too.
