privvm and phys will never be equal or even close in most cases. As the manual/wiki states, privvm is memory allocation whereas phys is memory usage. Most applications allocate large gobs of memory and actually use a fraction of it. you can look at privvm as the potential memory usage of the running applications and phys as the actual memory usage.
