This 768MB can quickly be used up, and if you load quite a few apps open at the same time, you may notice the device starting to slow down,and even closing all of these apps sometimes is not enough.

Linux always uses up all available memory for buffers/cache, nothing strange there. Unused memory is wasted memory.

Really? Care to explain how?
You think that unused memory will not use electricity?

DRAM requires periodic refresh to retain values.
I would assume in low power envs unused DRAM would smartly be kept off (thus avoiding unnecessary currency drain).
But then again, I have no idea how DRAM in low power works so I am most likely wrong (even tho my thought sounds quite logical to me) .
EDIT: no mentioning of dropping currency drain from unused ram it seems.

I had to fire up good old top; and I noticed my 1GB RAM being fully used!
Now this is totally a newbie question and I apologize for that.
Is this normal on harmattan?
It seems all the device slowdowns occour exactly once the memory is full.
EDIT : which is compatible with swapping happening.
