As far as I know, the probability of swapping never reaches zero unless 
the network reaches a perfect Kleinberg distribution (which in Oskar's 
experiments sometimes didn't happen even for networks that were created 
with a Kleinberg distribution and then scrambled - and it sounds like 
you're starting from a Watts-Strogatz small world rather than a 
Kleinberg small world).

But even though it never reaches zero, the probability of swapping 
should decrease with time as long as the network is stable.
