That's good. But, how is SQL a memory hog. That's the problem with Express, you ONLY get 1 GB of memory. I would kill for the 64 GB maximum of the standard SQL 2012. The more memory, the faster SQL is.
1 GB for Express, which is its limiting factor is not nearly enough to run a database efficiently.
If you don't need the other SQLs, which my guess is you do, then turn off the memory.
