Top will show you the amount of swap used by processes, but mine
didn't show it by default.  If it isn't there, press 'f' and then 'o'
and then <ENTER> to add the SWAP field.  You can save your current
'top' configuration by pressing 'W'--this causes top to write to the
~/.toprc config file.

RSS appears to be the total amound of physical RAM used by ELF
binaries, with the exception of about 12K of administrative data
that's present for all processes--see the top manpage for more on
that.

HTH,
Ben
