Which kernel precisely? What does "vmstat 1" look like? If you
swapoff/swapon between application runs does the effect persist? What
does the application do? What does /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr contain?
This does not sound like a result of the swap caching behaviour. Once
you start swapping that memory _is_ returned (or something is not
working as it should).
