The more processes & applications you have running, rebooting becomes more important to clear memory. It is the ONLY way to completely clear memory.
I used to be more concerned about clearing memory and memory leaks when I had a system with the ~3.2 GB accessible with 32-bit Windows. These days I run 64-bit Windows with 8 GB of memory and don't find memory loss to be nearly as big a problem. I just looked at Task Manager and I have ~4 GB unused; more than enough to do anything I need to.
In addition, with a fast i7 quad core processor things go so fast compared to anything I've owned in the past, so delays are far less noticeable.
