рыть здесь: google://kswapd+CPU, но никаких конструктивных (AFAIK) 
решений вроде не найдено...

в основном слышны такие неутешительные восклики:
* Perhaps 2.4 series simply cannot handle when kernel space limit 
(880MB) is pushed, under a large memory load.

* Just kswapd trying to free Lowmem which appears to lock up the 
machines for several seconds

* You have highmem box, during heavy IO all of the lowmempages are
occupied with bounce buffers and bh's. Kernel needs more low memory and 
tries to free some with no much success though... Not easy to fix 
unfortunatelly.

А сколько всего памяти установлено и какое ядро?
