working set is larger than virtual bytes?

[George2]

Hello everyone,


I am using perfmon to watch the working set and virtual bytes, when I do a keyword search in SourceInsight.

I found the value of working set is larger than virtual bytes when do a search, I am confused how could working set larger than virtual bytes? I have this confusion is virtual bytes is all things -- reserved, committed memory -- which includes RAM (working set) and page swap file. So, virtual bytes should be always larger than working set.

BTW: I watched that private bytes is always lower than virtual bytes when do the search.


thanks in advance,
George
