Mine (2.0.7) must be different:
O: SWAP = Swapped kb
So if it says
PID USER NI SIZE SWAP RSS SHARE WCHAN STAT %CPU %MEM CTIME COMMAND
12944 eben 0 480M 520 480M 479M R 0.1 63.4 2:35 vmware
12983 eben -19 56272 668 54M 55392 do_select S < 0.0 7.1 0:01 vmware
then _right now_ VMware has a total allocation of sum(SIZE)=535M of which
about 1.2M is swapped out, right?
