[SLUG] Swap management

I have 512,000K of memory and an equal amount of swap space. For some
reason my RH 2.4.9-31 kernel seems to be mismanageing my swap space. It
seems to grow and never shrink and as it does my load average goes out the
roof. If I reboot the server then the system will settle down and operate
efficiently (low load average). It also does not need the swap space it was
using either. This seems like a mismanaged swap issue to me or is there
something I am not aware of in the setup of this system?
