More free RAM than before upgrading?

[urbanracer34]

Before Sequoia I was always maxing my MacBook Pro's (Intel) 16gb of RAM. Now it seems I have more available after upgrading to Sequoia. I currently have 4GB left according to Activity Monitor.

Anyone else?

Interesting. I am noticing slightly lesser RAM usage on my M3 Air 16GB also. Curious if more people are seeing this.

I just figured out something. It's not using all the RAM, it's using a ton of SWAP instead. WTH

Your little snitch and iStats are out of control. Need to maybe reduce the amount of network connections in LSNM? Or just reboot, something's not right.

I rebooted and things are looking a LOT better. 100MB swap in use now.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
