Swap Usage with Kernel 2.4.14

Regular usage on my box, launching netscape, opera, pan, xchat, gaim;
the kernel eventually digs into swap.

However, the swap is never released?

Mem: 900596K av, 185896K used, 714700K free, 0K shrd, 4172K
buff
Swap: 2048276K av, 63728K used, 1984548K free 91176K
cached

Are there any settings I should have set or be aware of?

I current use 4GB support, 1GB of ram, 2GB of swap.

Having 1GB, I thought I had enough memory for basic operations without
the disk swapping like mad.
