Run `IOAccelMemory` in the terminal to see what's causing that (dirty and wired columns). It's probably an app with a lot of windows.

Or for general memory `footprint` is good.

Thank you so much for this! At least now I can see the worst offenders. How did you even find this tool? The internet has almost no records of it. Amazing.

Still does not explain why this balloons over time. Aka if I restart my Mac right now and reopen the same exactly apps with the same exactly windows the WindowServer will take 80% less memory.

Well, now you get to file a bug with Feedback Assistant…

If you send me the number it will get looked at.
