Be careful to measure the RSS rather than the VSIZE when measuring the memory use. VSIZE can be completely meaningless since most of that memory may be shared via many other processes, or may be allocated but unused, ... Yes, OS X eats memory like a pig and (worse) is pretty bad at swapping (I often get it to freeze for a whole 1min or more just because I launched too many processes at the same time: GNU/Linux handles it much more gracefully), but Emacs is not particularly frugal either.
