So by running free when a few apps are running I should be able to see that 
my swap memory is getting used? I'll give that a try tonight.
Assuming that processes are being killed because they are using too  much 
memory, is that something I can stop? I'd rather have the machine thrash for 
a minute or two and let me close the non-essential ones than lose whatever 
I'm doing.
