20.1 Legacy Series / Re: High memory usage

A clean OPNsense install has really low memory usage in my experience.
Where did you take the information from? About the RAM usage, I mean? From the VM status in Proxmox?
Because: Outside of the VM, Proxmox (KVM) does not reliably / accurately display memory usage inside FreeBSD hosts.
FreeBSD's memory management knows several memory classes: Active, Inactive, Laundry, Free, Wired
(See https://wiki.freebsd.org/Memory)
KVM only displays the amount of 'used' memory. I do not know how they calculate that.
In short: I would disregard the value KVM displays and go with OPNsense's dashboard info.
