it depends on how well written your programs are. Most programs when run set aside a section of memory to use, and when they end the programs don't return all that memory back to the system (it's called memory leaks). MS Office used to be really bad for this, now it's just sort of bad. The more use start and stop poorly written programs the more you have to reboot. Poorly written drivers can cause increasing instability issues as well. What you're going through is normal. I just reboot as the mood hits me.
