Mean while this settings helped me:

Settings>Developer options>

Enable "Force GPU Rendering"

Windows animation scale -->0.5X
Transition animation scale--->0.5x

Enable Do not keep activities

Limit background processes --->Any value between 1-4 based on your requirement

Note:This setting might not help in reducing the RAM Values but are definitely helping in running the S3 butter smooth
