Well, I have received may replies from admins and they all mentioned that my
statement is not necessarily true, although I see this happens ONLY on our
home-grown application. I have not not received any explanation as to why some of
our applications have larger RSS that SZ or in general why is it possible to have
RSS>SZ.
pmap/pmap -x was suggested by Casper Dik which prints lots of information about a
running process, I found it very useful.
Many thanks to the following for reply:
