I agree.. I have found that even with 384M memory I almost never touch swap, and that is with several X servers running (those little memory hogs).. 128M swap is what I have, I found anything more than that is wasted space.

So I doubt it. GAH!!!! Get rid of that much swap!!! with 512 Meg of ram you shouldn't even touch the swap! (Remember, the whole idea behind it is that RAM was expensive, much more so that disk space for equivalent sizes so dump some stuff that was intended for RAM to disk when it's not a high priority etc.) That much swap WILL affect your system performance. Ideally you want 1.5x the amount of ram you have, that's 768, but since you have half a gig, you might want to consider going with 256M swap or less. Or none at all. Good luck, -- Thomas J.
