I tried those tests, they are bogus (didn't delve into the reasons). To
get true figures you need a clean boot.
disable display manager, clean boot, check free, run startx, check free,
start a kde or gnome program, exit, check free again (#1 checkpoint)
clean boot, check free, and startx with icewm or the such (#2
checkpoint) and then compare #1 with #2, that will give you something
closer to real figures.
I tried on several programs, starting and stopping several times and
checking free each time and numbers were never consistent (even for
small programs I could start stop start stop and have a 15MB
difference).
