prstat, top, vmstat memory report (oracle 10g)

Solaris 9, sun4u, 16G physical and 32G swap for memory. It seems prstat, top,
vmstat, and swap are reporting different information (or I'm deciphering it
incorrectly). Can someone expand further on the below? prstat reporting
oracle utilized 80G (48G max. for memory) swap -s / top / vmstat reporting 24G
free swap (matched). Howerver, top contains 158 oracle (10g) processes,
ranging from 500M-950M with a total easily over the 48G total for memory, but
with memory to spare. Or is oracle behaving strange with these utilities,
thanks for your time.
