That brings up an interesting question, where on earth does Mac OS X 
hide the swap file(s)?

BTW, I think I tracked down where a nice chunk of what is using up 
the virtual memory, Dashboard.  Each one of those little applets is 
listed as taking about 180MB VM, plus 3-30MB Physical.  Simply put, 
Dashboard isn't *that* useful.

On a positive note, while VM usage would appear to be up from 10.3 
(not really that surprising as the OS is more 64-bit than 10.3), it 
would appear that the clean up of VM is *significantly* improved!
