My original question was:

 We've got 2 swap partitions running under 3.2c, totaling about 2.5
gig
 worth of swap.

 My question is...using the command vmstat, what is a normal amount
 under "pages fault"

 - From the way it looks on my system, its entirely too high....
 
Thanks to Gwen Pettigrew and Alan Rollow for responding.

Considering that this server is under an incredible ammount of load,
the numbers i come up with for page faults under vmstat is normal.

Heres a current vmstat on the system.

I was just sorta worried after 3 weeks of uptime there were about 980M
of page faults.
