Well, 100-150 is still a heck of a lot. If you see large performance changes like that, though, and nothing has changed about your computer, it is most likely because of an update to the game not playing well with graphics drivers or a driver update not playing well with the game.

If you want to reduce your memory footprint, then disable as many unnecessary running processes in task manager as possible. I would also go through the list of programs that start on Windows start-up and disable all the ones you don't need.

That means the OS and whatever else is running is using 2.3GB. Perfectly normal.
