You have a memory bottleneck but you want to force some of your physical memory out to swap? Smilie Well, no problem. Just remove some memory cards. Your swap utilization should rise then. Seriously, you need to reduce your need for memory or you need to obtain more memory. Until you do one or the other, the system will try to use pretty much all of what memory is available.
