[QUOTE="cradom, post: 1579140, member: 305283"] Swap space is not freed until a restart because it's always used. Try this, if you don't use it already (and you should), download and use Onyx (the version for your particular OS). Do the Automation section and clean up the drive. Note: this will also check the drive for problems, among other things. Restart. Then see how your drive does. This will also help with any slowdowns. [/QUOTE]
