Are you worried about that for a particular reason?


Here is some great information about the new Activity Monitor and it's stats. Essentially, if your "Memory Pressure" is in the green then you shouldn't be worrying about specific stats. As a matter of fact, "Cached Files" value is a good thing. It's data that is cached and ready if needed again but is still available if needed.
