Thank you for that explanation. Something that puzzles me about activity monitor is in the memory section. You explained memory used, but what is cached files. I have a new iMac 24 with 16GB of RAM. I chose 16 because of editing 4K video. I have nothing running other that YouTube and your video here. I'm showing 6.13 GB of memory used and 9.15 GB of cached files. Is memory used using up part of the RAM? Memory pressure is negligible, What are your thoughts, pleas. Thanks.

I have an application that shows up as over 100% of my % CPU. How can I figure out if the problem is with the computer or the application?
