Depends on what version of Windows, and if you have seperated the Desktop process from the Explorer process and what Explorer addons you have (unknowingly) installed. Currently the task manager is saying Mem: 3,192KB VM: 4,664KB under Explorer for me.

Switching over to LS it says Mem: 1,788KB VM: 3,364KB. But then I don't use any images in my theme, or any of the typical bloated modules that most people use. (Switching over to a theme like Obsidian, jumps mem usage up to ~12MB). So, it really just depends on your configuration of course, both under LS and Explorer.

Not that the taskmanager reporting is accurate anyway...
