No. They aren't measuring the same thing; in a system with plenty of available RAM, processes might be entirely resident because there is no memory pressure to start paging inactive pages out, but only be using a fraction of their address space, in which case active per top will be less than the sum of RSS. -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
