Just a curious question. How does one tell what is swapped out. I wonder
because even after closing almost all applications there is still swap in
use and even after waiting 24 hours it is still swappped.

One other thing to note is that processes that are in the swapped memory
will remain swapped until they are utilized by the system again. The
swapped processes will have a STAT of W(aiting).
