Yes and no: the system reserves a lot of additional memory (Solaris

I believe, by the symptoms, that this is what happens often
in particular to Java processes (app-servers and such) - I do
regularly see these have large "VM" sizes and much (3x) smaller
"RSS" sizes.
Being swapped out is probably the best thing that can be done to most
Java processes :)
