Hi,

I think you may have a dated definition of Virtual Size.  Directly
from the `man top' page:

 o: VIRT  --  Virtual Image (kb)
    The  total  amount  of virtual memory used by the task.  It includes
    all code, data and  shared  libraries  plus  pages  that  have  been
    swapped out.

    VIRT = SWAP + RES.

Cheers,
