I'm away from my desktop, so I cannot check now. According to mys logs, 
kwin uses about 40M. But it has a memory leak, after some days the 
typical usage is 600M, and it goes even higher - the record is 1.4G. I 
also notice strange effects when the memory usage gehts high, like 
disappearing or distorted window title bars. It's time to log out and in 
again then.

This still happens with 4.7.3 on Gentoo Linux.
