Depends alot on the size of the swap and not so much % ratio... (what is 10% of 1 GB of disk to write nowerdays? 10% of 64 GB is not quite the same...)
The swap usage becomes a concern when performance is truely impacted ( really noticeable...). What is more important is the ratio of swap vs true RAM...
You can use vmstat to see what is going on...

Calling upon all Solaris zone experts.
I have a Sun T3-1 that is running a few whole-root zones. I've set the 'capped-memory' setting on all the zones.
However, I have a problem on the one zone. Under load it uses more memory that has been allocated to it.

glib::flags
Glib::Flags(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Glib::Flags(3)
NAME
Glib::Flags
DESCRIPTION
Glib maps flag and enum values to the nicknames strings provided by the underlying C libraries. Representing flags this way in Perl is an
interesting problem, which Glib solves by using some cool overloaded operators.
The functions described here actually do the work of those overloaded operators. See the description of the flags operators in the "This
Is Now That" section of Glib for more info.
HIERARCHY
Glib::Flags
METHODS
scalar = $class->new ($a)
o $a (scalar)
Create a new flags object with given bits. This is for use from a subclass, it's not possible to create a "Glib::Flags" object as such.
For example,
my $f1 = Glib::ParamFlags->new ('readable');
my $f2 = Glib::ParamFlags->new (['readable','writable']);
An object like this can then be used with the overloaded operators.
scalar = $a->all ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
ref = $a->as_arrayref
integer = $a->bool ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
integer = $a->eq ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
integer = $a->ge ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
scalar = $a->intersect ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
integer = $a->ne ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
scalar = $a->sub ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
scalar = $a->union ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
scalar = $a->xor ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
