I have always thought that swapping occurred when there is insufficient
memory for an application so another application or pages of an application
could be swapped to disk to free RAM.
Given that there at least 32GB of RAM free, surely it would not need to page.
Solaris likes to make reservations in advance to make sure that the
promised allocation is available when it is used.
This is different than Linux, which happily promises the same
resources to any application which asks for them with the hope that
they won't be used.
