Probably there is some type of memory that we miss counting in the /proc
counters.
There is an issue with resident set figures once page balancing has
taken place:

Any internal, rebalanced pages must still be associated with their
memory objects but I don't think that these pages would be included
within 'buff/cache' total either ?
