Everything very useful in this topic but... Do you really need a swap
file bigger than 1GB? Remember that, as a rule of thumb, swap file
should be the double of your RAM size but anyway not useful bigger
than 1GB.

I have 4gb ram and .5gb swap and after 45 days up, only 26mb swap is
used.

htop reports 277 total tasks with 15 running atm.
