RAM panel: "Top Processes" should show "real" memory usage instead of heap size #1898

Closed jonasfa closed 4 months ago

jonasfa commented 4 months ago

Based on macOS's Activity Monitor's terminology, it appears that the "Top processes" list in stat's "RAM" panel shows processes' "Memory" amount. This is the current heap size for each process, not the amount of memory they're actually using. In order to better help users understand their processes' memory usage, "Top processes" should show (and order processes by) "Real Mem" instead.

stats RAM doesn't use real mem

@exelban thank you for looking into this. Do you mind sharing why you closed it? Is it incompatible with some of the tool's objectives, or is it perhaps due to lack of contributions?
