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

Normal.

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