Look at top before you shutdown the system (preferably when it is at its
busiest). It should display the amount of swap space in use. If this is still
mostly free, then probably best to leave it at the current size. Watch it over
time. If you start really filling swap, consider adding more Physical RAM
rather than increasing swap.
