      A new vm.vmemory.size key has been added to monitor virtual memory statistics on Windows.

      On windows, the term "virtual memory" has multiple meaning and it is also used as a synonym to Page File on disk(swap).
      Actually, on windows there is a settings named "virtual memory" to set the size of page file size on disk.
      [System Properties] > [Advanced tab] > [Performance Settings] > [Advanced tab] > [Virtual Memory section]

      I believe it would be better to changed it to other term to avoid confusion.

      It is wrote as "Virtual space size" in the following manual.
