Stats is amazing, and really helps me to see insights into how the machine is operating.
My current machine only has 8gb of RAM, so I find myself having to keep a closer eye on that than most other things.
The top processes list on the popup is super helpful for seeing what is using up memory when my memory pressure goes up, but whilst looking into the system activity monitor, and what all the data in there means, I've come across "Real Memory", which appears to be the actual memory taken up by that process, rather than including other shared memory that could be used by several other processes too, and therefore make it a better metric for considering what you may need to close to get your memory back under control.
Would it be possible to add an option to display the top 'X' processes by either 'Memory' or 'Real Memory' please? Obviously that terminology could potentially be confusing if there's no context, but that would be really helpful in seeing what you should close if memory pressure has increased.
