I just ordered the M1 Max with 64GB RAM because I'm constantly getting the "Your system has run out of application memory." popup while working on Lunar[1] in Xcode. Every time this happens, Xcode uses about 4GB of RAM (probably because of the monolithic UI storyboard of Lunar) but it should still leave enough memory for my other non-memory hungry apps. But then I open Activity Monitor and I see WindowServer using ~80GB of memory [2] The only remedy is either `killall WindowServer` or a full reboot. I've been using an M1 MacBook Pro and Monterey since the first developer beta but this only became an issue in the last 2 months or so. [1] https://github.com/alin23/Lunar [2] https://cln.sh/CfEL6u
In Memory leaks are crippling my M1 MacBook Pro
