Even though Darwin has some roots in BSD, it is not a BSD kernel. And 
memory statistics is where OS's vary the most.

The Hobbit client does use Darwin's "vm_stat" command to collect some
memory statistics, but I cannot remember exactly which. If you could
provide an example output from this command, or any other commands that
would be useful to estimate memory utilization, that would be helpful.
