Linux works differently than windows - normally as you use Linux it caches stuff into RAM and quickly fills it up, this is a good thing because if you have paid for 4GB of ram then Linux will USE ALL 4GB of ram, windows will only use what it needs, so if you never use 4GB it's a bit pointless paying for it.
And when an application starts up Linux just removes old ones and frees up ram.
