Here's mine. 1628 root 14 0 287m 29m 3732 R 1.3 7.9 1:42.01 X I have nothing to compare it to as regards the previous version of X, but even tho it seems to be using a lot of memory, the thing to keep in mind is: is it affecting your overall performance? Personally, I can still mousewheel thru 10 desktops running 10 different apps (including *Galeon*, a memory *hog*) in milliseconds with no delay in response, and my machine is a dinosaur, a P3 866, 392 MB SDRAM (okay, so I have a GF4 Ti). And with all this running, I can still play Wolfenstein without hitches. Linux is a genius when it comes to resource management, so like I say, unless you see an affect on your overall performance, not to worry. You could always switch to a lighter WM, like saaaaay, Pekwm?
