How do I know swap usage is high or low?
Mb Mb Mb PCT START/ Mb

Inside GlancePlus, I keyed in 'w' to see swap usage as below,
Swap Available: 1689mb Swap Used: 588mb Swap Util (%): 73 Reserved: 1238mb
Type 'm' to see memory usage as below,
Total VM : 427.2mb Sys Mem : 82.3mb User Mem: 457.4mb Phys Mem: 1024mb
Active VM: 127.3mb Buf Cache: 462.3mb Free Mem: 21.9mb
How come I got swap used is 588mb from GlancePlus and got 479mb from swapinfo?
How do I know swap usage is high or low?
Higher than 60% or 70% considered high?
Should I increase swap space to lower down swap usage? But it seems not true, because the swap used in two device swaps and not much.
Thanks in advance,

A good description of the concept is in the Memory Management White Paper in /usr/share/doc/mem_mgt.txt (search for "Pseudo-Swap Space").
