How often do you reboot?

Title asks the question.... I notice that something must have a memory leak. After a fresh reboot I have about 1200 MB free Ram, it declines as things pickup processes and all those numerous things get started. After a while its down around 700 MB or so. Hit the task killer and it bops back up, but to progressively lower and lower values until running the task killer does not free up above 1000 MB free.

One other anamoly that causes me to reboot is that sometimes, I see both the wifi icon and the 4g icon. Normally, I shouldl expect this to mean its connected to wifi, but not routing out through it and uses 4G to get out to the world. Running speed test to see a max speed and I dont get the 4g speed, i see the wifi speed, telling me its actually routing through wifi.

In all, I am rebooting every couple days, seems like I ought to be going long than that to me.
 
Only when I feel it's needed, as in when something isn't working quite right. Other than that, never.
 
I just clear my memory every night before bed. For some odd reason the Gallery like to hog the battery from time to time if I don't. I only reboot when I feel that it needs it. And that is not to often.
 
Sometimes I'll have to reboot because my data will freeze up. Says I have bars but the data just doesn't work. Switching in and out of airplane mode will help as well.
