When I run 'top' on my 3.0-SNAP-980825 machine I see that of my 128 MB RAM I've got 16 M active, 22 M inactive, 20 M wired, 65M cache, 8M in buffer, and about a MB free. I've looked at the man page for top and seen that "wired" means "number of pages wired down, including cached file data pages". Could someone explain what this really means, or where I can find out what it means? FWIW, I'm running this machine as a web server (Apache 1.3.2).
