Any chance you get high wired allocations?

Sometimes several times in a day I see the wired amount shown in top
rise to over 6GB (of 8GB) bringing the system to a crawl. When wired
gets over 7GB the system rarely recovers.

I am now running 10.2-STABLE r292646 on corei7 with 8GB and ZFS FS
This is my everyday desktop running xfce and a variety of gui apps.

I use a small script to allocate several GB of ram that gives the
pressure needed to start releasing some wired, provided I can get in
early enough.

Not sure how to gather any helpful info for this.
