Which model of Mac? How much physical RAM does it have?
17" Powerbook G4, already maxed out at a gigabyte.
Using Activity Monitor or 'top', which process does the most swapping?
Activity Monitor doesn't appear to indicate swapping.

I think it's "Real Memory". If I'm wrong, someone will likely correct me.
Real is just how much physical RAM a process is using. Virtual is how
much address space a process is allocated: it includes memory that has
been allocated but not used, and shared memory that's being counted
once for each program that's sharing it. Neither indicates how much
disk space the program is using as additional memory.
