That is true, but if you have something else that needs the memory (large hash tables), those 'old' programs are cleaned out. >But if I try and use 400 MB it will swap.

Probably when it first starts, it has to clean all the other programs out of memory and swap in the hash table when it starts to be used. Once the process completes it should not swap again, unless you load some other programs.
