And it would be fantastic if that was always true. But RSS is not that 
simple. See Gerhard's link 
https://grafana.gcp.rabbitmq.com/dashboard/snapshot/wM5JcgR9oQToU4CR54IbOq1NtAsa6jvu 
that has RSS lower than allocators report. Depending on the allocator 
strategies we've seen both RSS and Virt go all over the place. I'm 
afraid after spending months on this I still don't understand RSS.
