Ok, I asked before, what can "cached swap" possibly be, besides
an oxymoron. I have this line from top:

Swap:   524120k total,   133360k used,   390760k free,    61148k cached

I got the reply that this is not "cached swap", but just "cache".

However,

# cat /proc/meminfo | head
MemTotal:       248088 kB
MemFree:          7828 kB
Buffers:          4612 kB
Cached:          58268 kB
SwapCached:      66212 kB
Active:         181632 kB
Inactive:        10964 kB
HighTotal:           0 kB
HighFree:            0 kB
LowTotal:       248088 kB

So I ask: What is SwapCached?
