Remember, when you start an application, it is loaded from Flash to RAM for execution. The Fire manages RAM (or more accurately, Android does this). Androids memory management is quite good - often leaving apps loaded in RAM even when they're not running to aid in quicker startups. I think the Fire has a pretty generous allocation of RAM compared to many phones - 1GB compared to 256MB (on my Droid 1).
I think that the problems being reported & error messages relate to running out of RAM. Playing around with the Flash memory won't do much for this.
Of course, I could be wrong also...

No it's caused by installing too many apps they are running out of space. On most android devices we just use App2SD to move the app over to the SD Card but you can't do this with the Fire so people who are installing large games and apps are running out of storage fast.
You can install App2SD on the Fire from the App store. It is compatible but you can't move anything but it will show you where all your space is and what apps are taking what but it's a good uninstaller app if nothing else.
