swap size and a zombie

Looking at a web/email server with the following from "top" ...


last pid: 29494;  load averages:  0.00,  0.00,  0.00   up 85+12:33:05  23:07:44
39 processes:  1 running, 37 sleeping, 1 zombie
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  100% idle
Mem: 197M Active, 545M Inact, 176M Wired, 51M Cache, 112M Buf, 33M Free
Swap: 2048M Total, 184K Used, 2048M Free


Does it look like the swap file is way too big? The box has been online for awhile, yet it seems like the swap file is not utilized very much at all. For that matter, the server is clearly overpowered for what it does, but better than underpowered I suppose.

Also, I cannot seem to get rid of that zombie... it happens at boot time:

root       0  0.0  0.0     0    0  ??  ZW   -         0:00.00  (perl)

Thanks,
Chris
