Well so far, so good. I had a 16GB 2019 15 inch MBP, and it was all that BestBuy was offering at the time. I wanted a 32GB, but I had to get the pig.
Well I had watched the Activiy Monitor like a HAWK, looking for any swap disk usage because I didn't want ANY!!
But alas, when I launched Adobe Illustrator, sometimes Photoshop, but definitely Discord, BOOM swap kicked in for a measly 250MB to 2.5GB
(couldn't get rid of unless a restart)
I watched this since Mojave thru Catalina.
Was so regretting the 16GB. BUT BUT ho ho..
I upgraded to Big Sur, and guess what?
I do my normal routine, which is Safari, Mail, and Messages open, and Text Edit, and Preview launching and quitting. And SO FAR:
When I launch Illustator or Discord (even Xcode 12.2) and make sure I quit when done.
NO SWAP!! Like SURIOUS!
So happy...
I actually haven't gotten to see if I can get the SWAP going, but I know I probably could I mean HEHE, but so far keeping my 512GB SSD alive for as long as I can, needs to last for 7,8,9 more years... only has 300GB used, so...
Whew!
p.s. (those Apple Silicons, are probably insane, cause I am pretty sure the metric is 16GB is equivalent to about 32GB...)
Laters...
