I cannot reproduce this. I ran apport with -S system and no cache directories (so it had to download everything). For xeyes (tiny report) I get

VmPeak: 169884 kB
VmSize: 168680 kB
VmLck: 0 kB
VmPin: 0 kB
VmHWM: 103936 kB
VmRSS: 102880 kB
VmData: 78200 kB
VmPeak: 166392 kB

and for gedit (large report, over 5 MB compressed core dump) I get

VmSize: 148744 kB
VmLck: 0 kB
VmPin: 0 kB
VmHWM: 104744 kB
VmRSS: 87296 kB
VmData: 82324 kB
VmStk: 136 kB
VmExe: 2176 kB
VmLib: 8152 kB
VmPTE: 300 kB
VmSwap: 0 kB

given the overhead of Python etc. a magnitude of 100 MB data is very reasonable. Also, the original problem here has been fixed and the fix is still in place. Can you please file a new bug report with an example crash that causes memory usage to explode? Thanks!
