Chrome is also the fat hog at the feed trough on Win computers. However, there may be some other software interference that is triggering this.

I'd suggest finding an alternative to Time Doctor 2. Chrome is also a resource hog on Macs.
8GB of RAM in todays computing environment isn't sufficient, regardless of what people tell you especially sales people. It reminds me when I bought my first Mac, I cheaped out and regretted for two years.
I have the same issue, however it is with the mail app.
Mail is chewing up huge amounts of RAM and causing a massive slowdown, needing force quit.
My system is a mac mini with 16Gb
high ram usage in mac OS Sequoia
