So yeah it can be an issue because a lot of WM apps can be very memory heavy.
This is not an issue when the memory is being used for cache, as the OS silently drops cache to make memory available for the program. The only time this is an issue is when all the RAM is allocated for program use.

I run S2U2, some SPB stuff, and thats about it. I can go for weeks without a soft reset, in fact the past 3 resets have been due to the battery dying while I was in low coverage with low battery.
