I’m not sure that usage means anything. If it needed more it would be more aggressive in clearing stuff out as far as I can tell.

Clearing out means swapping to disk, right?

Perhaps?

Maybe it’s the speed of the SSD that prevents me noticing it, but it sure feels fast and I don’t have a ton of memory
