Memory usage

Hello hello,
does anyone has a short answer (if possible?) for the following
question, which came up while reading the "Digital Unix Sytem Tuning and
Configuration" Handbook:

Wired memory (static and dynamic):
the handbook figures out, that the static wired memory part reserves
physical memory to hold opertaing system data and text, system tables,
the metadata buffer cache ..., while the dynamically wired memory
contains "dynamically allocated data structures. This memory pool growth
according to the demands and has a default limit of 80%.

question: which are these data structures and where is the difference
berween this memory pool and the memory allocated by user-processes,
which should reside in virtual memory?



 mit freundlichen Gruessen
