I would like to be able to exactly monitor programs i/o in the swap area; 'top' does not seem to be the right tool as processes are sorted according to the total amount of swap space used, while i would like processes with high i/o activity (albeit in small amounts) to be highlighted. My case is with firefox and konqueror. They stay silently for hours, then i/o starts, as one can hear that typical noise from the disk and as it can be checked with 'vmstat'. Also i would like to locate programs more precisely, to tell which browser tab, which plugin has triggered that swapping. Any hints?
