Resources hog

Question

Can someone from Adobe explain why there are 14 processes of adobe running while all my apps are closed? And what is this ressource blackhole you have created??

I don't get it, why adobe is doing everything possible to piss off costumers:

A 32gb laptop costs an arm and a leg and you just highjack all of that memory?
How many UI helper do you need exactly?

Let's get some realism into this. Have you scrolled down to check all the other resource hog processes running? This is just a random screenshot from a cold started machine, no applications running. And no, I have no idea what all this is:

And if you take a closer look, these CC processes aren't actually doing anything. They're just sitting there.

A few hundred MB of memory is totally insignificant. Once you open some image files to do actual work, you'll be needing orders of magnitude more memory than you have installed in total, so Photoshop uses its scratch disk to handle all the data. However much you have installed, there's not enough RAM to handle that. That's not Photoshop, that's the reality of editing raster based pixel images.

If you have performance problems, this is not the reason.
