how's that even possible? I mean just the kernel + mds_store and mdworker of mac take like 2gb of memory.

I also run two java processes with 1gb predefined (well probably I could fine tune them to use 512mb). and one angular/cli which accounts for 800mb. plus my database which got 500mb aswell.

spotify on mac used way more than 500mb memory, the last time I used it and also had an extreme amount of i/o pressure. atom actually did use at least 500 mb memory as well, with just the c# plugin.
