I wonder if VSM is smart enough to recognize that a paged out page is all zero and to just mark it as not assigned yet so that a page fault will not require a page in.
I seriously doubt VSM is the least bit aware of the contents of the pages. Of course, the application program can use PGSER RELEASE to "zero" a page and release any frame/slot it might occupy. No page in (or out) required. Like first reference.
