As you can see, even though the resident size of MySQL is < 40G, the system is still using close to 16G of swap. At first we thought that ZFS arc cache was causing this to happen, but we've limited it to 2G,
Perhaps this is due to reserved anonymous memory mappings which are not really being used. In this case, the backing store is reserved in case the pages are ever made dirty and need to be paged out.
Use 'pmap -x' on a suspect process to see how it is using memory, including its memory mappings.
