I'm not sure whether just counting those numbers is really useful or not.

For example,

- fileover is just fine. actually, causing fileover condition is most
  important reason for existence of vm.{anon,exec,file}{min,max}.
- not causing fileover condition may be fine too, as far as anonover
  and execover don't happen at the same time.
- causing execover also may be fine, as far as fileover happens at
  the same time.
- even causing anonover may be fine, if fileover and execover happen
  at the same time.

According to your result, there isn't any execover although there
is anonover, this probably means your vm.execmax is too large.

Anyway, current defaults of {exec,file}{min,max} are too large,
IMHO.
