I just tried the change you mentioned on unmapping unused entries , and=0A=
appears this saves good amount of real memory.  On my idle machine it=0A=
shows ~20M +  real memory savings. Specifically the inactive/wired pages=0A=
dropped down.=0A=
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1263=0A=
=0A=
And also drastic VSS size down for most of the processes.    Is this=0A=
incomplete or Can I take this change  ?=0A=
=0A=
Thanks=0A=

Hi,=0A=
=0A=
The criticisms in the comments on that review are still perfectly valid. I =
would not use the patch as-is.=0A=
=0A=
It is surprising that you see rsz reductions with it. I think it's probably=
 an apples-to-oranges comparison and the application(s) have not been warme=
d up yet.=0A=
