Here is the memory useage for my KDE3 session.

Resident memory usage: 252264 kbytes.
Virtual memory usage:  516628 kbytes.

So, Yes, KDE is a huge memory hog.  But it does run decently on my system 
because everything is compiled from source with processor optimizations.

For reference purposes here are the specs for my system:
Detected 1191.522 MHz processor.
Calibrating delay loop... 2378.95 BogoMIPS
Memory: 255048k/262080k available
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) processor stepping 02
