swap reports on used, reserved, and available swap space for virtual 
memory; it doesn't report on free physical memory.     ZFS operates 
largely below the virtual memory system and manages physical memory.

Two ways to look at free physical memory are with the "vmstat" command's 
"free" column, and with "top"; "top" also displays ZFS ARC statistics.
