Set the max memory size for the SQL Server. By default, this is set to dynamic.
Try 2GB, maybe. It depends on what other applications you are running.

I already set it 4 GB but the problem when the memory increase it never decrease again and this make the performance very poor.

If you solve it please write here how, we solved something similar by scheduling a restart every night... :|
I heard that SQL server takes the memory and doesnt release it anymore.

Are you sure you set the Maximum Server Memory (in MB) to 4096? Remember that you need to restart the sql server service for these changes to take effect... SQL Server is designed to consume as much memory as is available to it. This makes data retrieval faster since it doesn't have to go to disk as much.
