i reboot voluntarily, because the machine has become a little 
balky, especially on application switching; this correlates to 
when 2-3GB swap has been used, often within a day of last 
restart; i think it's because not only do i run several 
high-memory apps, i also use Rosetta and Parallels a lot; otoh at 
the moment i have 4GB swap used, and things still seem pretty snappy
