I just checked, this M1 iMac is using 14GB of RAM without any special programs running. It's a sweet ride. I wonder what it would be like if it only had 8GB - might be a little bit bumpier moving to virtual via SSD.
If you go back a week or so I posted some videos of a 14" MBP w/16 GB using nearly 10 GB of swap... and there was practically zero slow down.
Admittedly the M1P chip has higher everything vs M1, but they were throwing everything at it -- but kept up nicely.
My 2014 iMac w/32 Gb of ram is always using 10-15 GB of swap...but even with a external NVMe boot (only @ 400 MB/s) i can feel it. =(
