How is htop "Swp" calculated?
- by Thomas
When I run htop (on OS X 10.6.8), I see something like this :
1 [||||||| 20.0%] Tasks: 70 total, 0 running
2 [||| 7.2%] Load average: 1.11 0.79 0.64
3 [|||||||||||||||||||||||||||81.3%] Uptime: 00:30:42
4 [|| 5.8%]
Mem[|||||||||||||||||||||3872/4096MB]
Swp[ 0/0MB]

How can I have Processes using Gigabytes of VIRT memory and still 0MB of Swap used ?
