What's it all about, Alfie?

This morning I'm very happy to see that the issue I've been having with macOS Sonoma 14.0 appears to be gone. I like the upgrade, for the most part, but what I'd noticed was that the memory usage for Safari and Safari Technology Preview would rise to the point of crashing the system. This mean that I had to have Activity Monitor running all the time to make sure the web pages that were getting too big were reloaded, or dropped, when their footprint got the memory pressure into the "yellow" - before it went "red".

I had expected that this was a dot 0 issue, and I was right - with the 14.1 update earlier this week, the memory footprint has started low, and stayed there - for a few days. Now I'll probably run Activity Monitor through the weekend, just to make sure, but I have a good feeling that this is something that got cleared up, and I'm not going to see a recurrence of the problem.

I have enjoyed macOS, and the Mac System long before Cocoa and Foundation, but this is something I am glad to see I was right about. They move forward, but pay attention, and fix the little things as they go. What a great team. 🙂
