I'm just running a live Jaunty, architecture i386 (my installed system is amd64).

This is the xorg.conf I need to reproduce the problem:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Configured Video Device"
        Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "Configured Monitor"
        Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Monitor "Configured Monitor"
        Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

I've run a little my bash loop and now free shows:
$ free
             total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1018452 960456 57996 0 2936 714888
-/+ buffers/cache: 242632 775820
Swap: 1959920 410200 1549720

One could see that the swap is largely used.
I'm running compiz with the default settings (so changing nothing to the defaults as compiz is automatically launched).
The PreferredMode line makes my display show 1920x1200 as I've an external display and the default would use a resolution supported by both screens (1024×768).

So it's related neither to architecture nor to kernel.
