I dont feel like this does anything, let alone make more of my ram available..

So I’m running adobe Illustrator on a mid 2014 macbook pro. 2.5GHz i7. 16gb 1600 MHz ddr3. It’s a solid computer, but this program gets HEFTY once ive been going for awhile and vectors start piling up. The program stops displaying what I need to when i run out of ram and only shows me a preview. I “clean” my mac with this program and try to flip my actual display back on, and i get nothing. Super helpful.
