Thats not what the article says:
"SHR is shared memory. Potentionally shared memory. I.e. memory that
may be used not only by this particular app but also by some else. And
actually it seems to be the shared part of RES - SHR goes down if the
app will be swapped out, at least with recent kernels. I actually
don't think it used to do that before"
So the author thinks that the issue between RES and SHR is that SHR is
a part of RES and in addition is dependent on kernel versions. I dont
know to much about this to give a definite answere.
