Lol I just checked my RAM usage on my work laptop, literally nothing running besides Teams (and whatever else my work has going on in the background) and it's over 9GB

It's a good thing for the OS to use as much RAM as available. Why pay for ram if you're not going to use it?

It is. But having the RAM running at a constant high load just slows everything down.

Also, teams being so badly optimised that it needs that much to run is just bullshit

Does it? Theoretically it shouldn't slow down just because high ram usage unless you are truly fulling it and RAM needs to constantly free stuff.

A pc with ram running at almost 100% capacity is slow as shit, this isn't a secret....
