You're right, they shouldn't be stressing either resource. Though my point was that referencing how much RAM is in the system is a bit silly when referring to a CPU being pinned at 100%. There is a HUGE swathe of CPUs with an even bigger range of performance that are all sold in 32GB systems.

I'm positive the low end of that scale could be rightfully pinned at 100% for certain common tasks.
