Swap is perhaps the wrong name; it is really "virtual memory"; virtual memory consists of real memory and swap on disk. In Solaris, a page either exists on the physical swap device or in memory. Of course, not all memory is available as the kernel and other caches use a large part of the memory.
Don't forget that virtual memory pages may also come from memory mapped files from the filesystem. However, it seems that zfs is effectively diminishing this.
