Swap is to allow a system to run more processes its memory can allow, by removing sleeping processes from memory (RAM) and move them to to virtual memory (disk) this process is called swapping. A well tuned machine should never or rarely swap or just a little.. You have 11 GB of permanent disk access on system disk...

In addition to Intel's own ``PRO/1000'' line of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, these chips also appear on some server systems, processor evalu-
ation boards, and in embedded systems.
The i8254x supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming and TCP segmentation in hardware. The wm driver supports these features of the chip. See
ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.
