Windows manages ram.
It will keep the most frequently used virtual pages in real ram.
So long as your demand does not cause windows to swap ram pages, you have enough and more ram is not helpful.
I think this is what happened going from 16gb which was enough going to 32gb.
The amount of virtual ram used is not reflective of demand.
Windows will keep unused pages in ram in anticipation of possible instant reuse.
