WSMAX

   WSMAX sets the maximum number of pages on a systemwide basis for
   any working set. WSMAX is calculated by AUTOGEN as a quarter of
   the first gigabyte plus a decreasing amount for each additional
   gigabyte up to a maximum value of 3002368 pagelets, like so:

      Memory     WSMAX
      512 MB    262144
        1 GB    524288
        2 GB    768432
        4 GB   1091584
        8 GB   1421312
       16 GB   1763328
       32 GB   2105344
       64 GB   2435072
      128 GB   2740224
      256+ GB  3002368

   Note: Reserved memory is excluded. WSMAX units are pagelets.

   This is intended to assist managers of systems that host large
   numbers of users whose working sets are not large. Systems whose
   user bases consist of a small number of users (or processes)
   that require large amounts of physical memory (for example,
   simulations) might need to set MIN_WSMAX to a value that
   satisfies the requirements of those processes.

   WSMAX has the AUTOGEN, GEN, and MAJOR attributes.
