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.
