Are you sure? On one of these machines there is a total swap size of 
2048m, on the other there is 1436m. If my process is using up 1/3rd of 
swap, then doesn't that mean I can only run three of these servers 
before exhausting swap?

This issue was brought to my attention by the administrator of a 
commercial machine I'm running one of the Hunchentoot servers on - he 
was objecting to the amount of virtual memory it was using. He said the 
paging was impacting overall server performance.
