Alle the GM users - please report your RAM stats here!

[mabaker]

I would be very interested to see your screenshots of Lion's RAM usage.

Is it good, bad? Better than Leo or SL?

Thanks!

Ram guzzler.

Under 1 GB here.

under 1gb here, it has come a long way since the first beta, the GM seems to be very good at managing resources. if you do find safari using a ton of RAM i suggest you look at your extensions/plugins those are almost always the culprit.

Ram guzzler.

Could you elaborate? Which Mac do you have? How much RAM? Could you post screenshots of your Activity Monitor in Lion?

 

[ovrlrd]

Under 1GB here as well on a fresh boot with no apps running.

Using around 3-4% of my 4GB of RAM with just Safari open.

Is this normal with Safari in Lion? Is it more of a RAM "guzzler" than in Snow Leopard?

 

[DarwinOSX]

Same usage as with Snow Leopard.

Thank you everyone for your input. It does seem to use more RAM than SL unfortunately.

Keep them coming guys!

To give you an idea of over time with apps running.

 

[ErikGrim]

[Jerome Morrow]

2 GB RAM used here (it's running since i posted it was using 1 GB). Too much i think + it's slower than Snow Leopard.

 

[arteggio]

2.5GB free of 8GB.

What I find truly impressive is that I have no page outs — no swap being used at all.

About two weeks ago in Snow Leopard, I upgraded my RAM from 6 to 8, reducing my usual swap of 512MB down to 256MB.

Now I have about the same amount of processes running as I usually did in SL, yet the current swap limit is 64MB, with none used.

Just for fun I checked mine just now on 3gb ram. Swap is 2.66 GB
