I have just looked and g-s-m is around 5-6%, x-t is 2-3%. g-s-m hss a lot more useful info, more detalied about memory usage, and is easier to manage task (as Eero said) For monitoring such values the xfce panel has the applets, but those are external processes and usually take up around 3-4M. g-s-m has a easy to understand (for newbies) system info (cpu type, memory size).
