No, that only means that 807MB of your virtual memory are (also) stored on
swap partition. This is a way how linux works with swap, and should do any
harm. However, with 4GB of RAM and only ~1GB of it used, you can safely
turn swap off and you won't see this (and I think you won't loose any
noticeable performance)
