They must be doing something right. What are you doing in your 16MB? I've only had it thrash once (and that's because I was running two X servers, using Ghostscript to format a bunch of dvi files, unpacking news, and running Mosaic, when I kicked off a "make" and tried to go back to Mosaic)... and I'm always using gobs of swap. Off course I'm running FreeBSD not NetBSD, but I hardly expect that NetBSD is any less competant here.
