I do the same.
I'm using xen-tools package from debian squeeze and default
configuration for swap is 2G.
It's too much I think but I've always left that value.
With top I see that swap is not always used but for the most is cached:

Tasks:  75 total,   1 running,  74 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,100.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Mem:   1066840k total,   310596k used,   756244k free,    11496k buffers
Swap:  2097144k total,        0k used,  2097144k free,   215568k cached
