Paul,
SQL Server will use as much memory as it has use for, so it is typical for
it to be taking a lot of memory. It does have mechanisms to give back
memory when there is pressure from other applications.
You can also set minimum and maximum memory for the server, which can hurt
or help performance, depending on the overall server use. You can read in
the SQL BOL the topic, "Server Memory Options".
