You're confusing virtual and real usage. The "virtual" space is what the
application has requested, while RSS is the memory the application is
actually using regularly and is therefore mapped to RAM.  Judging RAM use
by the Virtual value will result in severely inflated values, as you've
seen.

Note that applications will take more memory on sparc64 than on i386 due
to larger data structures (64-bit integers and the like).
