As i attemtped to open a doc I realized it was running sluggish, checked activity monitor and Illustrator was pulling 37GB of RAM! With no doc open!! I was trying to open a doc in Photoshop so the memory leakage didn't even make sense to me.Īnyone else (i know there are a lot of people discussing memory issues) find a solution to this issue, or do i/we have to wait for apple to patch the OS? I just ran diagnostics and received a code that says there is nothing wrong with the machine, so it must be the OS.Īs an example, most recently i had Illustrator 22 and Photoshop 22 open - neither had docs open however.

i'm running Monterey 12.0.1, but I had a similar issue in Big Sur - not as bad as this, however.

Excessive memory usage 64GB M1 Max MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.0.1 my brand new MBP 16' w/64GB RAM M1 Max is using excessive amounts of RAM - it doesn't appear to be any one particular app or process that is 'stealing' RAM - but usually it will be the onlly app that is open at the time, or one of multiple apps i have open.

For ios instal Process Monitor 3.95
