    I never understand why people upset about processes using ram. It’s there to be used. If it’s not being used then things are not being cached properly.

    Now, if there are other higher priority processes and the browser doesn’t give back the tam, that’s different. From your screenshot, why wouldn’t you want it using the ram? Otherwise it’ll cache to disk and you’ll have a worse experience.
