The usage at the top of top reports total memory usage, including
buffers and cache etc. In a idea world that should be close to 100% as
possible with alot of memory in use as cache. My system is currently
running at 787mb "In Use" with 560mb being used as cache.

What you need to look at is the "RES" column for the mythbackend
process. After a restart this morning its sitting at 56mb on my
machine.
