Understand that the mapped virtual memory represents files that are
mmap()'d into memory (likely most are part of the database files), but
the pages are not necessarily loaded into memory until they're read.
I'd guess the bulk of the memory in your RSS (resident size set; the
physical memory that's actually used) are the per-mailbox database
header cache files (and possibly the squat indexes).  Do you use
squatter?
