from what I've read memory is very hard to measure in the new system.
Not only do you have the usual virtual memory/swap but there is also now
compressed memory so what's free and used is even more murky. About Tech
has a brief explainer on compressed memory:

From terminal you can get a lot of stats by typing "vm_stat". You can
do a "man vm_stat" to get all the details on what those number mean.

Activity Monitor is a great app built into all Macs. Open it up, go to the
toolbar and then into the view group, and choose the memory button. Get out of
the toolbar and you can see not only a table of all your apps and how much
memory each uses, but stats on your memory as a whole.

That one has been broken since Yosemite. I meant to fix it, but other projects
kept coming up. Plus, from what I've read, ram is handled so differently in
Yosemite and onward that monitoring it isn't as important as it used to be.
