1.3 GB RAM may be reasonable depending on whether it includes buffers and cache. I suggested htop because it clearly differentiates between the different memory uses. See attached screenshot I just took on my 8 core 8GB RAM laptop (to be on-topic ;-) system which has iceweasel, several instances of emacs, several xterms, and various sundry utilities (conky, music) running. You'll see that about 1.5 GB is green: that's the actual memory footprint of the active processes. The other memory use is mostly buffered memory. There's a smidgen of swap as well.
