It looks to me like top is using a different definition of swap. If you
compare you see that SWAP shows the difference between VIRT and RES almost
exactly. However, if there is no or almost no swap usage how can there be
a difference? Only explanation: it shows what *could* be swapped
immediately without affecting current activity.
Have you tried making it heavily swap and then checked if you see a
difference (whichever)? Theoretically, it shouldn't make a difference as
it doesn't seem to differentiate between "swapped" and "really swapped".

Kai,
I think you hit the nail on the head. According to man ps, the swap
size shown by ps is exactly what you say.. the amount of memory it would
take if the process were swapped out.
