its not cached swap, they just put the cached on the end of the swap line because it fits.
Then it should read:
Swap: 524120k total, 80760k used, 443360k free; Cached: 73448k
I'll say this, its not often I see swap used > cached. that machine definately could use more memory.
I have 256MB total, yes. Want to donate to the fund? Guaranteed not tax deductible.
