Matthew> Hmm! So TOP isn't particularly accurate then? I was wondering
It is accurately showing how much a process is _directly_
using memory. In my example there was 443M missing. My
_guess_ was that it was mostly used by a disk cache, thus
indirectly by processes, and as our driver is the only active
process, I think it is reasonable to say that the driver uses
most of the disk cache and then also most the "missing"
memory.

Even when there is no virtual RAM is not being used the extra
RAM helps keep disk cache hit percentage high, in our case
read cache hit percentage is 99%, write cache hit percentage
is 92%. The "sar", "iostat" and "vmstat" utilities are your
friends here!
