Also, there is u386mon, from the net.  It displays memory in use and swap
space used in "near real time".  It's more entertaining than sar, and
easier to use, but not as definitive.

sar is better, but u386mon is more fun :-)

(Also, note that the current version of u386mon dumps core on ISC 2.2
systems if you try to access the process screen.  On at least one system,
anyway...)
