Virtual memory efficiency
Command: sar -B
%vmeff
Calculated as pgsteal / pgscan, this is a metric of the
efficiency of page reclaim. If it is near 100% then
almost every page coming off the tail of the inactive
list is being reaped. If it gets too low (e.g. less than
30%) then the virtual memory is having some difficulty.
This field is displayed as zero if no pages have been
scanned during the interval of time.
pgscand/s
Number of pages scanned directly per second.
pgsteal/s
Number of pages the system has reclaimed from cache
(pagecache and swapcache) per second to satisfy its mem-
ory demands.
