But keep in mind, your system will be pretty much unusable whenever the working set size (the amount of memory system-wide that is being actively accessed) gets much bigger than the available (non-kernel) physical memory. When that happens, paging activity increases sharply while CPU utilization drops because processes are spending most of their time waiting for their virtual memory contents to be paged in.
