[QUOTE="krs, post: 1847297, member: 67742"] Thanks for your comments I have been involved with high tech for more than 30 years,first as a designer and then in various management positions, but I have never even heard of the term "pressure" used with respect to the amount of RAM installed on a device. Mind you, all my professional involvement was with industrial products, very high speed ATM (as in Asynchronous Transfer Mode) switches and routers as well as OC-192 and up transmission, not with consumer products like a PC, so perhaps that explains why "Memory Pressure" is not a familiar term. Still,for me at least, it would be nice if Apple defined what parameters go into the algorithm that drives the "Memory Pressure" indication. I have the tendency to not close down applications after I'm done with them and wonder if that has any negative effect - like the non-responding Excel issue I brought up in another thread. At the time, I had about 15 applications open, closed all of them except a few I use constantly, but that didn't seem to make any difference. Memory Pressure shows green on my Mini with 16 GB of RAM.
