Mine is a stock rom, I suck at flashing so afraid to use the chefs roms. hopefully someday it will work out itself. maybe I do a hard reset and start from scratch again..

Yours is actually using twice what mine is for manila. Though still not a lot.
As well as your services.exe. as well as your cprog.exe and device.exe.
Not sure why, probably rom related or other apps you have running or had running, that left behind some background process or something.
Though, you can see, though your manila.exe is running at twice mine, it's still not the main hog on your device.
If you are not using a stock rom, check with your rom's chef and others in the rom thread, about the Ram consumption.
