Lion - Memory - SWAPFILES multiplying for no reason

Using Lion on 17" MacBook Pro -

I don't know about MDS - don't know what it is - but after seeing available HD space disappear gradually down to nothing when using computer - I tried all sorts of disk cleaning utilities - and have found that ---- AT THE LEAST --- gian swapfiles are engulfing the var/vm folder, taking up that HD space.


WHen I watch the folder, a new swapfile appears every 30 seconds or so, and there are NO APPLICATIONS running besides Safari.


I read elsewhere that this is a Safari memory management problem.

Is it also MDS, whatever that is?


Is there a solution?


Sometimes restarting or doing shutdown and restart helps.

Sometimes the same HD space remains disappeared.


HELP!
