thank for your answer

I understand the RSS size.
72 M for VSize
4 M for RSS.
swap used= +72M

ex: if N apache launched, the size of swap used increase to N*Vsize.

Second, i see something strange during my test, on 2 différent sparc
(SunFire versus Netra)

The same apache binary (72 M VSize) compiled on SunFire grow to (140 M
VSize) on Netra.
So on the last hardware, the swap available decrease dramatically.

pmap -x $pid, show me on my netra, 2 blocks of 65M reserved for anon
memory (shared memory perhaps).

I suspect a bad tunning of my OS (sparc64-solaris2.9) or perhaps a bad
tuning of the apache config.

I will start an accurate debug, googling so much ;)
If you have any idea or link....

regards.
