I guess yer a Solaris-admin? Things work a bit different in the
penguin-world.
No need to swap = nothing gets swapped. Solaris does it a bit different.
Over 7gb's of your ram is used for block cache so you're far away from
actually needing to swap.
Instead, look at the output of 'top' when the slowdowns occur.
