Is there a way other than rebooting to force the OS to reorganise and reclaim swap file space (on Linux you'd simply remove the swap device[s] and then add them again - supposing there's enough physical RAM to reclaim all swap space).

PS: on Linux I do see an endless stream of the following which I didn't get with the previous webkit2-gtk version I had installed there:

Memory pressure relief: Total: res = 30552064/27189248/-3362816, res+swap = 25436160/25436160/0

And that's even with a single simple site open like http://html5test.com/compare/browser/mybrowser/safari-11.2.html
