Which model of Mac? How much physical RAM does it have?
Using Activity Monitor or 'top', which process does the most swapping?
Development tools tend to use lots of memory, and there may be no
alternative but adding RAM.

I think it's "Real Memory". If I'm wrong, someone will likely correct me.
This is from reading 'man top', which explains RSIZE, VSIZE, etc. in a
meager way, and from double-clicking a process in the list to get detailed
information on its memory usage. Also running a program that intentionally
consumes lots of memory to hasten swapping (1 GB phys-ram on a G4 ppc).
