It's Linux, yes.
The si and so columns were in the hundreds when I did "vmstat 1", but
I didn't save it at the moment the machine had a high load average and
lots of swap space used.

Well, here's a ps (sorted by memory, greatest memory usage is at the
bottom):
http://lina.aaanime.net/~pmak/memory.txt
At the bottom, it's all mysqld processes. A total of about 1400 MB of
RAM is being used... so if mysqld's memory is all shared, I guess it's
all from the apache processes adding up?
Oh, does anyone know how to make "ps" not show shared memory used by
processes more than once?
