They don't.  That's the maximum ammount of virtual memory they're allowed to
use, just that.

Unless, of course, something is filling those filesystems with junk?  THEN
they will take up to that ammount of virtual memory (most of which CAN be
swapped, I don't know if the inode tables are swappable, but the file data
IS).
