I believe what you're seeing is the effect of the swap cache. Where something
was swapped out briefly (whilst there was memory pressure), and we keep
references to the swapped out version on disk just in case the situation
reoccurs, so that we don't have to write it out to swap a second time, we just
throw out the in-memory references.
