We have this oracle database server running solaris 10 u4 on sparc that
always has nearly all of its memory allocated.

The dba has set the sga target size to 12 gigs, but it's constantly
allocating nearly all of its 22 gigs as per top/vmstat.

I just got orca set up to try to get a better handle on this, and daily
memory stats are showing that in fact most of the memory is allocated,
and very little is on the free list.

What's a good way to show from a running system exactly where all the
memory is allocated? Is there a good way?
