I would interpret these numbers slightly differently.

28% of your RAM is unused.
72% is used, including 36% which is immediately available should the need appears, the reason why it is also accounted as free by the command.

Your RAM consumption might double or even triple before pagination start to be noticeable, which means your system is currently far to be RAM bounded.
