This depends on your definition of a memory hog. We run a relatively large instance of DSpace and we allocate 512MB to Tomcat, about 100MB to Postgres, and 256MB for daily indexing runs (via the dsrun script).
In earlier versions of DSpace the indexing routine needed to be patched to work around a poor implementation that caused memory allocation to be linear with repository size. Without that, we were running out of memory during indexing. I believe that patch is now part of the base. We run comfortably inside 2G of physical memory. I may have considered that a memory hog 5 years ago, but today I consider it light.
