This is a subject that I have always been confused by. For instance, my WindowServer is currently shown to have 3.26gb, which is a "VM Compressed" amount of 1.96GB, but a "Real Mem" amount of 223.1 megs. This is on a machine with 32GB of physical memory so there would be no problem having it all in physical memory.
I am not sufficiently clear on the relationship between the total virtual allocation a particular service and how much physical ram is required to service that in practice. I don't think it's true that you can simply jump from the total allocation to physical memory numbers.
