Probably because that RAM wasn't doing anything else. Why not use it as cache to speed things up. I'm sure it can work fine in much smaller RAM sizes.
- Dylan16807 7y agoIt's very rare that a program intelligently adjusts its cache size based on the amount of memory available. And that doesn't explain how the "cache" is twenty times bigger than the source data. I bet with less RAM available it would start thrashing.
- userbinator 7y agoThe fact that my machine was swapping heavily whenever I tried to switch to the Outlook tab or do anything with it says otherwise.
