Just to let you know, all operating systems (not just Apple's) have memory leak issues. The best way to fix it is to restart your MacBook. The feedback you sent will help Apple to maybe fix it, as long as they actually read it.

Thanks for your attention. Apple sells their memory at the price of $200 / 8GB, so that I think you guys are more responsible to handle the expensive memory leak issues If possible, please help push the FB ticket in apple's system.

@bosskwei Are you here just to troll?
You haven't responded to my question in the other thread #22 , you haven't mentioned what Mac has this problem, specifications like RAM, SSD, macOS version or if you used Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac.

1. Also thanks for your attention, if you are an Apple employee, you may confirm the details with me in FB system.
2. Another post is related to `configd`, and here it is `bluetoothd`, I posted two reports for two different processes. Apple's code is full of ****, I may only submit one post if found only one memory leak.
3. Will give you more details in other post.

Are you experiencing any problems?

Actually, the system works fine, the only issue is that I have to sudo kill these system processes (and launchd will relaunch them) when the system is becoming slow. Usually after booting for 4+ days.

If kill bluetoothd, all the devices need a second to reconnect. When configd get killed, VPN may be disconnected.
