Hi!

Have you checked if you have got the latest VMTools running on this VM? Can you run esxtop and verify, this article will shed more light on which counters you need to look for Interpreting esxtop Statistics

Yes, Vm toools update should give the appropriate counters for minimize instruction set for memory swapping. This will obviously improve VM performance also.
