I can think of three possible reasons:-
* Top is reporting it wrong. Top is notoriously inaccurate for
programs that use a lot of libraries. In some circumstances it just
does program_space + library_space. Check how much memory a simple
GTK+ app appears to be using, if it says ~100MB then that's the problem
* GTK+ another fairly notorious bit of software. AFAIK It can consume
a lot of memory if used in ways the authors were not expecting. Maybe
try the Xaw version?
* CEDET. Maybe there is a strange interaction between new Emacs and
CEDET? CEDET also uses a lot of memory, but it shouldn't use this much.
