Xorg RAM consumption

Hi,

I've been wondering for a long time what is the average consumption of Xorg for a dual monitor.
I use a 1024*768 + 1680*1050 setup and Xorg+openbox+xcompmgr takes me in average 110 to 160MB of RAM (without xcompmgr it starts with 85MB +-).

Isnt this too much? or is a dual head setup normally that heavy?

Q9450
2*2GB 1000Mhz RAM
Saphire HD3650, 512MB DDR3  (I'm using catalyst driver from AUR)
ASUS P5E

best regards
