Yes, I believe so.  As far as the system is concerned, you have hware mem
+ swap memory at all times.  Which is what you care about anyway :-)
FreeBSD will suck up any unused hardware memory and use it as disk cache,
so that number is quite irrelevant.

I believe it's "adjust kernel time zone"

adjkerntz - adjusts the kernel time if the machine runs wall CMOS clock

see `man adjkerntz`.
