Several people suggested that could be some files taking space in /tmp and consuming space out of the swap. That is not the case in my situation. Does not look like there is some kind of tool that would just print a detailed report about swap usage, so the best method is to use /bin/ps -e -o pid,osz,rss,comm, and subtract 3rd column from 2nd. It'll give you an idea on the size of the portion of the process swapped out. I'm sure if this method reports only swapped out part of the process that is swapped out and shared memory altogether. I still I don't understand the VM algorithm that uses swap even if there is plenty of memory.
