Dude: give it up.

You've got 33.5 decimal gigabytes of RAM.

19.2GB is in use with the other 14.3GB used for cache.

And 3.7MB...

....one HUNDREDTH of one percent of it...

....is swapped out...

....and you think that's a solid argument?

Linux has 14.3GB used for caching and for some reason chooses to swap a 
tiny, TINY fraction of data rather than use a little less for cache...

....and you think you're proving something good?
