So nothing a Mac Mini with a base configuration couldn't easily handle.

 
Incorrect, I use beyond 16 GB RAM and even puke out a little over 32
at times having these tiny uses of swap.

 
Funny you won't show it, huh?

 
I'm including the use of cache in overall RAM use, the use of swap
when all 32 GB is used up to demonstrate that I really need the
resources I've provided my system.

 
Not at all. It just means the OS is being efficient and using the fastest
local storage available to it as much as possible. RAM is mostly used for
caches.
 
If you were brave enough to show your memory usage you'd see it for
yourself.

 
 
I have been monitoring it for months, I know how it goes.  I have
reached the point of the OS using swap, when main RAM and cache
saturated the 32 GB.
