Don’t even think about having more than one user logged in!

I currently have an 8GB M1 running with four users logged in. Three users are iTunes media servers, and the fourth is a regular user.

No heavy computing tasks, obviously, but it's absolutely possible to have more than one user logged in.

I'd imagine it's relatively easy for the OS to just swap out the memory from the inactive user. Unless they're actually running a task in the background, but how often does that happen?
