I suspect that the mapped ratio could be much higher
on my system. I have only 2GB of RAM dedicated to my
dom0 (which is also my desktop) and the amount of page
cache often goes down to about 150MB.

At the moment nr_mapped is 26400 and the amount of
memory taken up by buffer and page cache together is
a little over 300MB. That's close to 50%.
