Might any or all of those (especially the seemingly useless ones) might have other meanings on other architectures?
In multi-threaded programs on 64-bit platforms, VmSize will also be misleadingly gigantic because thread stacks are very big, relying on the memory not really being allocated until used, and depending on overcommit to stop the system running out of virtual memory.
