kswapd using alot cpu while not swapping

kswapd is using alot cpu, but doesn't swap a thing to disk. It does it
during i/o (reading big file from disk or simular).

This is what ps shows me atm:

root 3 14.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 22:09 3:00 (kswapd)

The swap space hasn't been touched yet.

Is there a reason why it's using that much cpu "for nothing"?
