I wouldn't think so, unless there's something running I don't know about 
that just chugs memory. I have the little barchart in the bottom and I 
don't ever see the swap color getting used, either. I have like 2G RAM 
and 2.5G swap, so ... probably not.

And I'd certainly hope Linux wouldn't stop responding to pings just 
because swap got exhausted.
