Yes.  I find it beneficial to both quit high-use programs like Safari 
and Mail and to occasionally restart Finder, as long-running apps will 
swap out and cause a lot of disk activity over the span of days or 
weeks when they try to wake up or come forward to be used.

I would venture to say that any slow/swapped issues that you see would 
be due to these long-running apps, and not due to the system itself.  
At least this is the case in my experience.
