MacOS - Why is memory usage different in Activity Monitor?

Open alshdavid opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi, running Zenith on MacOS version 0.14.1, I noticed that the memory usage displayed is different to the memory usage shown on Activity monitor.

Am I misunderstanding what Zenith or Activity Monitor is actually displaying? For example, compressed memory or something

I'll have to look into this. I get the values from sysinfo, though I use a forked branch. On my machine when I check activity monitor and and htop, zenith most closely matches the activity monitor.

Weird, Zenith reports 38gb / 51gb used while Activity Monitor reports 18gb / 48gb used.

Htop reports memory usage correctly
