All kinds of things page out and in all the time. That's integral to the
way the system is supervised. Many factors go into paging activity, but
paging something out is not necessarily bad. If a process has X
resources tied up and then runs off to do something that doesn't need
those resources and is going to a long wait (or some such), why keep
those X resources tied up and unused? Were it not for the paging
activity, we wouldn't see many jobs being serviced at time.
