Explanation:
Memory Provisioning Recommendations for VMware Infrastructure 3 Operational Best Practices page 7.

Transparent Page Sharing is a process executed frequently by the VMkernel that scans physical memory to identify redundant virtual machine memory pages. When a match is found, the physical page is marked read-only. The VMkernel removes the duplicate page from physical RAM and the page table is adjusted to redirect the virtual machine’s virtual page back to the read-only page in physical RAM. This mechanism results in increasing memory that is shared among running virtual machines over time.
