Title:
  Unnecessary and unappreciated swapping slow down my system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After I upgrade my laptop from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, it became
  extremely slow. With physical memory of 1GB, it starting swapping when
  free - buffers/cached > 400MB, which i thanked is to blame. It means
  when I launch a web browser and an e-mail client, it starts swapping.
  After several hours' running, the data swapped out will reach 300MB+
  and meanwhile free - buffers/cached is only 400MB. When I was using
  Ubuntu 11.04 before, swapping would never start unless free -
  buffers/cached > 800MB. Now I can only disable swapping to make my
  system usable, but the temporary solution will make my system
  unstable.
