Try running multiple concurrent services that are actually competing for limited memory resources.

But that really doesn't mean it is false. If you really want more detail, then have a look at /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/httpd.service/memory.stat but /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/httpd.service/memory.current really is important. It is the one that tells you how much system memory is used by the kernel to keep the service running.
