After several days of usage, Activity Monitor will usually shows that "WindowServer" is using 6 GB of RAM.

Yeah, 8 GB RAM does not cut it anymore. At least until Apple start fixing the memory leaks in MacOS.



Unused RAM is wasted RAM. If your machine isn't reporting memory pressure and/or the user isn't experiencing pageouts, then the machine is well-suited to the user's workload.


I'd rather my ram go to my page cache, not have bloated apps hoarding it.


But I thought Electron was the future?


Uptime of 13 days. My WindowServer is at 441Mb. ??? (32Gb RAM M2Max MBPro)


Probably a badly behaved app. Run `IOAccelMemory` to check.


Have you tried turning it off and on again?
