But I = get: Mem: 55G Active, 23G Inact, 11G Wired, 3729M Cache, 9838M Buf, 97M Free Swap: 49G Total, 14M Used, 49G Free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU = COMMAND 93273 username 103 52 0 141G 115G uwait 22 25:37 19.82% = XXX So I have a machine with 96GB of RAM, no swap is used and my process's = resident size is 115G (more than physical memory). It is clear I am missing something. Thanks in advance.=
