This is what I get on my system:

      Free memory: 1110K of 500MB (<1%)

This means that 1110K of the available 500MB of memory (or less than  
1%) is in use. In other words, more than 99% is free. This string is  
also displayed by the Help>About ImageJ command and when you click in  
the status bar.
