Typical RAM usage on M1 iMac?

New to Plex. I set it up yesterday and libraries have totally synced. All apps are working, both local and remote. I checked RAM stats last night and was blown away. I kept checking and now mid-day the next day they are still super high.

Is this normal? Just sitting there, no server use? Just sitting idle?

It may be more useful to see if another user can post what they see on their M1-based Mac (perhaps Rosetta 2 adds some memory overhead).

WOW! Huge difference.
