I'd suggest analyzing the situation after things seem to have become constipated
to see where the swap space is being used. DEC X servers have been known to
start big and grow over time. You may also have a problem with swap space
getting fragmented or having idle/disconnected X sessions lying around sucking
up swap space.
pstat -s / pstat -p and ps are can be used to try to account for swap
space usage...
