Swap and memory optimization

Hello,

I have a FBSD 6.4p7 box that I use as a mail server - 1Go RAM - RAID1
Works quite well.

As I plan to put 100 more mail accounts soon on the server I was  
wondering if the memory & swap was ok on the server considering these  
figures:


last pid: 18956;  load averages:  0.04,  0.11,   
0.05 
                                                                                                    up 
  19+08:36:23  09:53:38
125 processes: 1 running, 124 sleeping
CPU:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  1.5% system,  0.4% interrupt, 98.1% idle
Mem: 499M Active, 70M Inact, 362M Wired, 41M Cache, 111M Buf, 20M Free
Swap: 2000M Total, 160M Used, 1840M Free, 8% Inuse


Though It looks good to me - the server swaps a bit (between 8 to 14%)  
and there is not much memory left.


Let me know what you think about these figures.



Thanks.
