Here is what I get from one of BEST's mail & www proxy machines.
    ~dillon/br adds the object size's together.  'swap' and 'default'
    objects refers to unbacked VM objects - and none of the processes running
    fork shared unbacked objects so we don't have to worry about that.  The 
    'swap' designation means that at least one page in the object has been
    assigned swap.  The default designation means that no pages have been 
    assigned swap.  The pages can be dirty or clean.

    Typical /proc/PID/map output looks like this (taken from one of the
    sendmail processes).  The lines I've marked are the ones being counted
    as unbacked/swap-backed VM.  The rest are vnode-backed and not counted.

    This machine has 256MB of ram of which around 200MB is in use, we
    will assume the entire 200MB is used by VM spaces for processes.  It is 
    an active machine with around 205 processes at the time of the test.

    So.  200MB of ram + 12MB of swap = 212MB of actual storage being used
    out of 639MB of total swap-backable VM.

    About a factor of 3.2:1.  Actual swap utilization is sitting at 2%.
    If no overcommit were allowed, and assuming a VMSPACE = REALMEM + SWAP
    model, 200MB of ram would be active and 439MB worth of swap would be 
    either allocated or reserved ( though only 12MB would be actually written,
    that part doesn't change ).  439MB of swap verses 12MB of swap.

    In that scenario, the 512MB of swap I assigned to this machine would be
    dangerously low.
