Hi Edwin,
what number are you looking at? By default, programs such as `top` show the amount of mapped virtual memory which is irrelevant -- right now, a simple GTK version of Vim is shown as "taking" 434MB of RAM on my system while its actual exclusive memory usage ("RSS") is < 30MB.

See e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7880784/what-is-rss-and-vsz-in-linux-memory-management .
