It depends. Do you have lots of documents open? Then yes, the memory usage 
sounds about "right", i.e. expected. If not, then no - it sounds too large.

There's a long-time entry on our TODO list to evict TU's from memory when the 
accompanying document hasn't been touched in a long time. That should improve 
the situation, but hasn't been done yet.
