This is a good question but the information shows there is lots of memory available. You should be monitoring your memory usage though.
My favorite system monitor is conky and memory display is part of it:

Detailed memory line shows:
Web Contentis using 7% of memory. This is a Firefox subprogram.Firefoxitself is using 7% of memoryffmpegis using 3% of memory. This is the.gifrecorderpeekmaking the video we are watching.
Conky is highly configurable and everyone’s desktop looks different. You can google conky and get 787 thousand hits.
