sad to think that 'MacBook Pro' is the bare minimum now.[0]
>RAM is plentiful, the fact your idle system fits in 200mb is thus unimpressive too.
not true. It is impressive that a modern machine can be ran and coordinated on such a small footprint.
Ram isn't eaten up with a zero cost. In other words : memory usage indicates more than just what's available, it's a performance metric.

Apple's quest for form factor has actually led them to cut into battery life for their top models. This is why people jokingly tell me to "upgrade to a 2014 mac." > not true. It is impressive that a modern machine can be ran and coordinated on such a small footprint. It's also impressive that Red Fraggle can balance two pickles on her nose. It's not really relevant to the claim of "performance" though. It's equally irrelevant to security. Unless you define performance as "fitting into a minimal RAM footprint." Something many memory allocators elect not to do because of the compaction cost hurting running time performance.
