after some investigation and time spent archiving, it seems that thunderbird with some 40000+ messages in this lazarus folder plus having firefox open were causing my system to consume too much memory and thus using swap... especially when i would open lazarus to do some coding or checking things out from posts in here... after archiving, it seems to have cut down on the amount of memory used so we'll see what happens now...<br>
