OS X handles all memory management on its own. There is no need for user intervention any more than the CPU needs the user to dispatch instructions.

OS X memory management works really well don't worry about it at all.
With some loud music + a friend to chat nearby you can get alot done. - but jezz, I'd avoid it if I had the choice---- If only real people came with Alpha Channels.......:)

This is a positive for OS X and a negative for Windows, don't mix it up.

Mostly. It can be bad if you have a slow hard drive.
