And how does that breakdown in vmmap? I'm guessing that's working set vs. the whole virtual memory allocation (which is definitely always an overestimate and not the same as RAM)

Virtual memory doesn't matter at all. It's virtual. You can take 2TB of address space, use 5MB of it, and nothing on the system cares.
