I seriousy doubt you are using 3 GB of swap, you probably mean 3,856K.
:) Meaning that you have a total of 10MB of swap which is very little.

A good rule of thumb is to have the same amount of swap as you have
internal memory. This should be somewhere between 128MB and several GB
for any reasonably configured computer.
