Kernel Utilizing Too Much VSZ

Greetings,

Tru64 v4.0G

What can be the cause of this large VSZ usage by
kernel? I can't seem to figure out, its been there for
quite a while

/sbin/init.d# s ps ux root|grep -i kernel
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY S
root 0 3.6 2.6 955M 53M ?? R <
STARTED TIME COMMAND
   Oct 17 2-05:02:55 [kernel idle]
 
Is VSZ usage=Virtual Memory Usage=Swap Used? Yes?
(From Manpage::[Tru64 UNIX] Process virtual address
size VSZ Process virtual address size)

AlSO: I need to increase this value to maximum on
system (2Gb)
ulimit -a|grep virtual
virtual memory (kbytes) 1048576

How does one come up with these numbers to change the
system level? I have seen lots of discussions on this
list, and suggested values, but not ways to come up
with the value (is it issues with 1Kbyte=1024bytes?)
So: is 1048576*2=2097152 right?

And what exact parameter under proc subsystem i
suppose, should be changed? None seems to have the
value given by ulimit

My proc output::
 sysconfig -q proc
proc:
max-proc-per-user = 64
max-threads-per-user = 256
per-proc-stack-size = 2097152
max-per-proc-stack-size = 33554432
per-proc-data-size = 134217728
max-per-proc-data-size = 1073741824
max-per-proc-address-space = 1073741824
per-proc-address-space = 1073741824

_Thanks in advance.

Richard
