FC4 swap space shows empty always!

FC4 install was as smooth except for inital boot from CD1 - worked around 
(Bugzilla Bug 159026).
 Problem is -
System tools -> info server (viewer) -> memory --- shows totally empty swap 
space and a heavily used up RAM.

I have 256 MB RAM and swap partition as /dev/sda4 size 1GB on a SATA 80GB 
HDD.
FC4 is placed in /dev/sda3 on ext3 and uses around 3.5 of 15 GB.
Swappace is shown enabled OK while booting.
 Tried to fill memory by invoking as many applications but system becomes 
sluggish as RAM fills up. Even mouse movement creates HDD LED activity.
 Swap partition was created during install, using interactive durid tool. I 
may have committed mistake by including in swap, the last 8 MB or so left 
out by durid. Is it so? Please tell me or else how I can make 
the swap space active as normal it should be.
