Todd,

I am surprised that its only at 45%. On a Unix/Unix-like OS, it is normal to see apps 
reserve 90% of the available RAM and free it as others need it.

What you would want to watch is when the swap starts being used. Then you are out of 
RAM.

Thats a real simple explanation - I'm sure others could explain it in more detail.
