this whole issue of free memory has been beaten to death.
if your device is running very low on memory and getting than you have cause for concern. otherwise use and enjoy your phone. stop worrying about free memory. the android os learns loads programs into memory that you might use for faster loading.

(I am talking to DreamSTi too btw) I think that if people want to worry then they should be able to. I worry too. LOTS of apps run on the background of my phone and slow it down too, even after I have installed virtual ram, and I just had to uninstall my Twitter app because it uses a lot of ram for the phone I have at the moment(a hand-me-down ascend 2 which had only about 150mb of ram, but I have swap on). Anyways, I feel like it's getting "beaten to death" because people are actually having problems, and also I feel like they have a right to not have apps running on their phone if they don't want them to be and they have a right to ask about it too without someone being upset with them because they aren't hurting anyone. <3
To help with this question that rootyourphones posted(even though this is kinda an old post), I read somewhere that stopping the apps uses up your cpu and battery power more because sometimes the apps will restart themselves(you said that already though). I think that IF you can, go ahead and uninstall the apps that are causing all the memory usage. Like with me, I don't use twitter much but I like to have the app, but it uses a LOT of memory and it always restarts itself, so I just had to uninstall it. But if you don't wanna do that then I understand, that was just what I did. I also have Clean Master which came with GO Launcher, and I click the little button and it cleans my ram up, but some system apps do continue to restart themselves. Some of them I might have to go and freeze or uninstall...
