Why is there so much wired memory used on my Macbook Pro?

Hi everybody,

I just installed 8GB of kingston ram on my macbook pro 13 inch 2009 today 😀

I finished installing it, and logged back to my computer. For some reason, it says that 5.32 GB of it is wired, which i read online, is unusable.

This is really weird, because when i had 4 gb of ram, much less was wired. how can i fix this?

thanks a lot!
