It is if the memory is held by the kernel for caching or buffering. Is it using an in memory swap file? If that’s even possible, I’m not sure.

Sort the application in the bottom half of that window by memory and share the screenshot. What else is open?

2 0 ReplyCould you sort the SYS monitor by "Memory" please? You have it currently sorted by "Downloaded".
As for htop, could you hide threads? Hitting "h" should do it, IIRC.
