Currently there is someone working in openoffice at it whilst i work in X11 remotely. This same box is also my NFS server for 5 other boxes. Committed_AS would probably be in the region of 1.2GB+ in normal usage, rmap15 does make good decisions about things to swap out in my case and manages to keep the working sets of the bulk of my apps in physical.
