High Sierra kernel_task high memory

[cipriantepes]

Hello, I have a question for you all. Is it normal for kernel_task to take ~8GB of memory?

Are these normal values? I feel that my hackintosh is a bit sluggish. I do have many things open but the system doesn't feel 'snappy' at least comparing to windows 10 with the same amount of programs/apps opened.

Thank you very much,
Ciprian
