While there are some page outs, it's ony 2% of page ins. When page outs get above 10% that's a pointer to more memory being needed (note the values reset when you reboot).


That said, 2GB of memory, while the minimum for Mountain Lion and Lion, many have found that 4GB is required for performance.
