VM isn't that big a deal. my VM is currently at 220GB:

PhysMem: 879M wired, 1424M active, 172M inactive, 2475M used, 9813M free.
VM: 220G vsize, 1042M framework vsize, 83722(1) pageins, 0(0) pageouts.

Yes, I have 12GB of RAM.

which is why you have zero pageouts -- meaning swapping hasn't kicked in which is why VM, in this case, isn't a big deal; i have 8GB of RAM, my swap size (actual data written to swap files) is currently 3GB and i've done 1.45GB of pageouts, however that's over six days, so it's only about 10MB/hour -- not that big a deal; but if i had only 4GB RAM it would be alot more

the point being that it is certain VM behaviors that can be an issue, not VM itself
