-##### Proportional RSS
-
-The Resident Stack Size displayed by top keeps track of the number of resident pages in
-a certain process's adress space. It is very useful to locate memory hogs, but doesn't take
-into account page sharing. For example, if N processes map library L and L's resident pages
-are 1G, this 1G is added to the RSS of all N processes. A more useful number would be the
-Proportional (or Effective) RSS, for which we divide the number of mapped shared pages by
-the number of processes sharing each page. So in the previous example we would add 1GB/N
-to each process that has L mapped.
-
-The goal of this project is to hack the kernel to allow for effective calculation of the
-Proportional RSS and modify top to use it in addition to the RSS (i.e. it should display it by
-default and be able to sort based on it).
