i have conflict with memory utilization

dear all,

kindly i want to check my server memory utilization i used alot of commands but i want to make sure that it is acurate let me explain


i have a server which has 32GB RAM
Code:
Total Memory = 33423360 kb
Free Memory = 4172568 kb
Utilized Memory = 29250792 kb
 Memory Utilization Percentage = 87.5 %

if Utilized Memory = 29250792 kb how can i make sure which processes eat this amount of memory


I listed the top proceses i found the following
if i sum the amount of memory by each process from the flowing it will not equal the utilized memory 29250792 kb so i want to know which processes eat the amount of memory

i found also the swap device is free and not used my system now in test cycle and the memory reached to 87% i want to make sure that if it in the production it will still has 87% and use the swap space or exceed the amount of memory

i tested another server it has memory utilization like 46% and after rebooting it it was 29% so i want to make sure that how memory work it has some processes sleep in memory after we has a new instruction enterd the memory it will free some of the old processes ?
top processes using memory
Code:
SIZE RSS PROCESS/NLWP
2580M 866M be-engine/1408
478M 428M java/3647
476M 418M java/3647
324M 320M esd/4
123M 107M java/113
131M 103M java/18
24M 22M svc.startd/15
29M 22M msragent/10
21M 18M nscd/31
35M 16M nsrexecd/4
33M 15M nsrmmd/1
33M 15M nsrmmd/1
17M 14M inetd/4
19M 13M fmd/27
13M 12M svc.configd/16

swap device
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap 256,1 16 67108848 67108848

whem it will use free swap ?
Code:
free swap = 30375816k
used Swap = 4569504k

how come the amount of memory percentage in these processes that run by these users is equal to 7.4 % and the memory utilization is equal to 87%
Code:
 NPROC USERNAME  SWAP   RSS MEMORY      TIME  CPU                             
     3 user1     2547M  870M   2.7%   5:31:59 0.3%
    63 root      1538M 1476M   4.5%  92:09:30 0.1%
    10 user2    7264K   17M   0.1%   0:00:00 0.0%
     2 user3     1672K   10M   0.0%   0:00:01 0.0%
     8 daemon     11M   17M   0.1%   0:15:05 0.0%

forgive me for my weak english

Code:
ipcs -m

for shared memory usage may shed some light on things.

prstat for the whole system should show more than just a few users if it is an active system. What does
Code:
ps -ef

show?
