I am running various containers that seem to be using a lot of memory, according to the Summary View. The RAM usage is therefore red - see screenshot.
When digging into the container, however, it quickly shows that most of the "used" memory is actually used as cache - so tainting it red in the summary view is misleading:
I would suggest to alter the RAM usage display to differentiate between actual "used" RAM and cached RAM.

Code:
root@agorum:~# free -h
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 24G 23G 177M 240M 0B 19G
-/+ buffers/cache: 4.1G 19G
Swap: 8.0G 2.6M 8.0G
