No. You don't completely fill up your computer memory. Whenever we are given a certain amount of space within which to operate, when smooth flow of traffic is essential, we aim to stay below the absolute maximum limits, in order to avoid fatal bottlenecks. This is very logical, and you can see it in all aspects of life.

You don't fill up computer memory because it's cheap to buy more and catastrophic to run out. Imagine if you were paid to fill computer memory, and the only way to stay in business was to be 99% full. You'd fill your memory then. And that's logistics. That's by ships are so big and full and why planes are over booked and why Suez hasn't been enlarged more.
