New MacBook Pro, 611MB Swap/ 500MB Compressed, Normal?

[Jack426]

Hey guys,

I recently bought a brand new 2014 rMBP 15", and after it has been sleeping for a few hours the swap and compressed memory sit between 500-600MB. When I look at memory used it shows I'm using around 2GB of 16GB, so I know I have plenty of RAM. I just wanted to know if it's normal to swap and compress while sleeping.

I've never noticed it on my iMac, but maybe I'm just being paranoid over my new investment...

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply,
J

Ok, thanks! I'm one of those people who feel better confirming these things with other users.
