Interesting...
I've switched to the nvidia driver yesterday and it's like this 
(after only a few hours running the screensaver...):
  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
25800 root       6 -10  169M 2800  2612 S <   0.1  2.2  26:04 XFree86

Physical mem is 128M.

BTW I found the nvidia driver crashed even more often as the nv driver
until I disabled all my wm* appletts... ^^;
A client shouldn't crash the Server, right ?

I was watching an avi (~25min) and it crashed like 3 times ?

And to be really annoying it leaves the overlay on even if you restart
the server so you can only see the mouse pointer over the overlay.
Only thing that helps to disable it is to start mplayer again
via a remote connection ^^;

Then I just disabled the windowmaker appletts and it's been working fine
since.
