1.110: The swapper seems to use enormous amounts of paging space, why?


When you run ps, you may see a line like:

USER   PID %CPU %MEM    SZ   RSS     TT STAT  TIME CMD
root     0 0.0%  14% 386528  8688      -    S 17:06 swapper

This is normal behavior, the swapper looks to ps like it has the entire
paging space plus real memory allocated.
