> Yosemite is really memory hungry compared to Mavericks in my experience.
Which numbers are you reading for this? The "memory use" total includes lots of irrelevant things like files read once during boot and optimistically cached for later, so you can expect it to be nearly 100% of installed memory at all times.
You're not in a memory pressure situation until you have an actual performance problem or the swap space starts growing.
But if you are having performance problems, I'm pretty sure someone cares deeply about them and would like to know the per-process memory use.
