I checked on my dekstop and plasmashell sits at around 350MB of memory use there - but that's after over 6 hours uptime, not a mere 10 minutes or so. Even then, it's using double that amount in my laptop, even when both have largely default configurations and the same version being used so it definitely seems something's amiss here.
