Also do you guys experiencing heavy Safari Web Content (Cached) display in your activity monitor?It really uses a lot of RAM *depending on what your browse, sometimes up to few GBs. Luckily mine is 16GB, wonder how those MBAs with 8GB RAM able to cope without Memory Swap  |

If you do,I did not realize my RAM have used up so much.  there is an application WindowServer has also occupying quite a lot of ram usage. You can check with Activity Monitor |

QUOTE(quadcube @ Jul 28 2023, 09:55 PM) windowserver is a macOS process that is responsible for rendering graphic on your desktop. not related to microsoft office Thanks for you info. I thought my M.O is utilizing it after I have installing it.compared to windows, macOS will use as much RAM as possible I also try to find out using the demo sets from Apple reseller store Those units don't have this windowserver utilizing  |

QUOTE(quadcube @ Jul 31 2023, 08:26 PM) hmm, I should put it better in this way. Thanks for enlightening me.windowserver is responsible for communicating with every program to display the content on your screen (Microsoft office, safari, Dock, Desktop, top bar, etc.) it handles all the task of rendering and cache all the visual stuff (app, websites , windows, etc.), so if let's say microsoft office's window or safari webpage has something that require frequent visual updates/processing, it will take a lot of cpu and memory probably those demo unit doesn't have much running on them, so the windowserver don't show up at the top? unless you specifically search for the process in Activity Monitor I'm actually quite skeptical it could be some kind of virus that utilizes this amount of rams. Even I have restarted it and still the same. Anyhow thanks for the detailed explanation  |
