FWIW, I've been unable to fill all the RAM. I can work on some very high-res and complex photoshop files, and I've only been able to get 3.5GB out of free or inactive. I'm running CS2.
I leave all my applications open for weeks at a time. (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, Word, Excel, OmniGraffle, four browsers, QT, chat & messaging software, Mail.app, iCal, Freehand, BBEdit... and then a ton of little apps...) I typically only restart to install OS updates.
That all said I still don't fully understand memory usage. I only have that one, 64MB swap file but Activity monitor shows kernel_task using 1.8GB, Photoshop using 1.3GB...
