Subject: why does our RC2340 swap so much?

We have an RC2340 which averages about 20 swaps per second.  It has 16M memory
and 64M swap.  None of our other MIPS machines (a couple of M/2000s and an
M/120) do any swapping at all.  We think the 2340's kernel is misconfigured,
but we don't know what to do about it.  Is there something in the manuals we
should be reading?
