> committed memory is that in use + memory that's being paged out
That's not actually true though. You can see an increase in a process's commit charge without anything new being written to the pagefile. Commit is a check that the kernel writes to applications; you're confusing that check for cash in a wallet. You can also have commit without any virtual address space to blame for it through section handles or other tricks. It's complicated.
