Here is the size of my gnome-panel-2 after it's been running for a while:

  23192 hp        11   0  6392 5180  3260 S     0.1  2.0   0:56 gnome-panel-2

Not even close to the 20 megs you show for the calculator, and the
panel is a much more complex app, or should be.

Nautilus 2 is noticeably snappier and smaller than Nautilus 1.
Overall GNOME 2 seems faster/smaller than 1.4 to me.
