[Question] Any way to reduce swap usage after long uptime?

Using sysmon from openrepos, I always see an upward trend in swap usage starting from a reboot. This is normal as processes / daemons / etc startup immediately after reboot. However, I still see the upward trend for the next 48 hours. Swap usage increases until around the 48 hour mark when it hits an average peak of around 300Mb. And then it goes through peaks and troughs but has an almost flat trending line (unless I do something major like stop the Dalvik service).

RAM usage, oth, has a pretty stable usage trend (with peaks and troughs) over the same time period.

Is there a way I can flush the swap or at least see what's using it?
