Well, I'm glad you found it useful... unfortunately, I was wrong. I am rereading the memory management section of Solaris Internals Core kernel Architecture and more is sinking in this time. I will need more time to finish my reading and I will post again on Saturday.
But I know enough now to say that page-outs also no longer have their original meaning. You can be in memory trouble on Solaris with no page-outs.

2. Do you have any other idea to do it ?

NAME
free - Display amount of free and used memory in the system
SYNOPSIS
free [-b | -k | -m] [-o] [-s delay ] [-t] [-V]
DESCRIPTION
free displays the total amount of free and used physical and swap memory in the system, as well as the buffers used by the kernel. The
shared memory column should be ignored; it is obsolete.
Options
The -b switch displays the amount of memory in bytes; the -k switch (set by default) displays it in kilobytes; the -m switch displays it in
megabytes.
The -t switch displays a line containing the totals.
The -o switch disables the display of a "buffer adjusted" line. If the -o option is not specified, free subtracts buffer memory from the
used memory and adds it to the free memory reported.
The -s switch activates continuous polling delay seconds apart. You may actually specify any floating point number for delay, usleep(3) is
used for microsecond resolution delay times.
The -V displays version information.
FILES
/proc/meminfo-- memory information
