So, I have a VPS on my test node that is supposedly using more ram than the node itself is using. Does anybody know why this is happening?

(PS: I know why, but I'm wanting to see what everyone else here thinks about it)

Is it swapfiling part of the guest RAM due to it not being particularly active?

No swap is used.
