memstat lists all accessible processes, executables, and shared
libraries that are using up virtual memory.
The important hing to note here is the last two words: "virtual memory".
Processes reserve virtual memory for the chance that they might want to
address that amount of memory at some time while they're running, but
they usually don't use all of that virtual memory actively at any time.
I'd be interested in reading one of those blogs relating to memstat if
you have a link.
I don't think any I read talk specifically about memstat, but I've seen
them talk about virtual memory usage compared to other measures.
Unfortunately, I right now don't find the posts that talked about the
overall picture of this, I only find ones about details on memory
profiling and trying to reduce memory usage.
