 What do you mean "effective load"? In my experience, you always have 
5-20 MB free (until you get close to max) and the OS decides what app 
gets what amount of memory. Haven't checked that much since 10.1 though.

If you have less RAM, some processes will be paged out and then the 
memory load will be less than whay you're actually using. What you want 
to avoid is pageouts on apps you're likely to use soon. Getting it back 
from VM takes time, a lot less now than before, but with such small price 
difference I can't understand why one shouldn't buy as much RAM you have 
money for.
