Yep and once the original paging in has been accomplished and the program is resident you should see very little paging in and out - yet your free memory is going to be very low and your swap usage high.

I admit I would have liked to see 512 MB of actual RAM - but simply saying there was almost none free doesnt tell is anything I need vmstat output
