Seems normal to me, but if you want to stop running apps, long press on Home button to reveal Task Manager and side swipe to remove.

PS The screen is the biggest eater of battery power, so when downloading and app turn the screen off.

Android allocates memory as required. You actually have almost 2GB to play with. So in your case android has decided that the apps need 783 mb to run apps and cache the history.

You don't need to pull down the screen, do you?
