Is there any way to measure the size of the shared copy-on-write pages on
Solaris? It seems insane that everyone just "assumes" that all this
copy-on-write goodness is happening, despite (seemingly) no way to measure
it. I'll admit, it's always been my assumption too, but I'd really like
some hard numbers to back me up.
