The computer has 18GB of total RAM so I would hope that it’s already trying to conserve memory. It’s kind of humorous that everyone interpreted the comment as complaining about Chrome. For all I know, it’s justified in using that much memory, or it’s the crappy websites I’m required to use for work with absurdly large heaps. I really just meant that at least for work I need more than 8GB of RAM.
