Thanks to the many who responded to my question. I guess I need to catch up
on my reading re:Solaris 2.6 and later and memory management. If I had been
keeping up I would have realized that the observed behavior was quite
normal. I did receive a very helpful link to information on this topic:
http://www.sun.com/sun-on-net/performance/priority_paging.html
(from Grant Schoep <grant@storm.com>)
and many replies, too numerous to mention with clear explanations of how
the freelist is managed and pages are reclaimed. Thanks all.
