What would you like to do with non-used free ram my friend? Give it to me?
And your rootfs with 77mb is just fine.
.edit
Weird. I´m just thinking how i could pump up my ram full of different stuff so that they are accessible fast.

77mb in rootfs is plenty and 60% ram used is normal.

Think of the root file-system (a.k.a "/") as like a C: drive on Windows. Its full of stuff that you may never need to touch. Installed apps typically go into /opt which is like "C:/Program Files", but stored in another partition.
Unused RAM is a waste of power and money. More RAM is in use than you think. Conky shows free RAM including RAM that is allocated to buffers and cached files, as that can be freed up for apps to use.

There's 32G+256M of storage in N900. That's plenty to pick from to fill ram with. If the kernel picks the right things, it means it'll already be in RAM and doesn't have to be loaded from the relatively slow storage when it's needed.

e: or are you just wondering how it is possible to keep a track of ram and when amount of x mb is needed, a magical piece of software would just flush about the amount of ram needed from inactive processes/etc?

how is that possible to use so much ram?
For longer answer check google
