I keep seeing Google Chrome Helper over and over and over in these screenshots. And sure, none of them are the biggest single memory user, but... In my experience, quitting Chrome lowers the memory usage of kernel_task dramatically, so that Chrome is taking up even more memory that you'd think adding up all of the many Chrome-related processes. I fully believe the OP, simply because they're not running Chrome. And I fully believe each of the posters above me, too, and I'm pretty sure they're all running Chrome. I guess I'm suggesting that the difference is Chrome.
