Tengo dos MacBooks, uno con una instalación nueva de OS X y otro con una instalación anterior. El más antiguo tiene una kernel_task con 1.52 GB de RAM. El más nuevo: 416 MB. Estas no son máquinas idénticas ni nada, pero tengo curiosidad acerca de la magnitud de la discrepancia y lo que contribuye a ello. ¿Hay alguna forma de inspeccionar lo que comprende la huella de kernel_task, idealmente sin necesidad de desinstalar experimentalmente varias aplicaciones / servicios a la vez?
