In essence, processes reserve some RAM for themselves and share some RAM with other processes. You can add columns in task manager, such as paged pool and non-paged pool, which can add to the general picture, and if a process has a memory leak, you might spot where. More on memory pools:

Memory is meant to be used. If you have memory just sitting there, it's not helping you and not doing it's job of making your applications faster.
How much memory do you have? 8GB? 32GB? 40% of 8GB is nothing. 40% of 32GB is a lot.
