In `atop`, does MEM (the percentage figure) reflect PSIZE or only RSIZE?

When PSIZE is available, does atop use it to make the MEM figure more useful, or does the MEM figure in atop always reflect RSIZE (RSS)?
The manpage seems unhelpful.
MEM
The occupation percentage of this process related to the available capacity for this resource on system level.

I tested on atop-2.3.0-8.fc27.x86_64.
RSIZE, not PSIZE, is used when sorting by memory usage (use the M key), and for the MEM column.
RSIZE PSIZE MEM
311.0M 260.2M 4%
303.3M 288.1M 4%
217.6M 123.1M 3%
More detailed output:

The memory percentage (column MEM) shows the resident memory occupation by this process, because that is what matters when your system starts swapping.

The memory details (subcommand 'm') show the current RSS per process in the column RSIZE and (as a percentage of the total memory installed) in the column MEM.
