               The committed memory is a sum of all of the memory which
               has been allocated by processes, even if it has not been
               "used" by them as of yet. A process which malloc()'s 1G
-              of memory, but only touches 300M of it will only show up
-              as using 300M of memory even if it has the address space
-              allocated for the entire 1G. This 1G is memory which has
-              been "committed" to by the VM and can be used at any time
-              by the allocating application. With strict overcommit
-              enabled on the system (mode 2 in 'vm.overcommit_memory'),
-              allocations which would exceed the CommitLimit (detailed
-              above) will not be permitted. This is useful if one needs
-              to guarantee that processes will not fail due to lack of
-              memory once that memory has been successfully allocated.
