Well, looking more closely I saw the 34 pageouts.  (I don't
know why the "(0)" after the "34", and that's what my eye
glanced at before.)  As I said before, I don't know why
there would be any pageouts in my system as setup and running
at this time, unless OSX has some memory use scheme different
from what I know about unix.

Also, the command "vm_stat" is details just about VM use, I
see now from reading the man page for top (and I guess I knew
before but I never use it :-) ).  That would have been the
short answer to the original question.
