I don't know if it's reasonable, but it's normal.  I'm running
double-headed on a BSD/OS box (P/133, 64 MB, ATI GUP at 1280x1024 and
Matrox Millenium at 1600x1200), and this is what I get from ps -u:

root       162  1.4 28.7 15860 18196  ??  S    Mon06PM   18:59.15 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/AcceleratedX/arch/BSDI/Xaccel :0

Older versions always seem to have bloated up to this size before
dying of amnesia, but even shortly after starting up it goes up to
about 8 MB.  Admittedly, I have a large number of windows open
(currently 23).
