Fire up the "Activity Monitor" and decide for yourself.  Back when I 
was running 10.4 I did, and was horrified!  That and the security 
issue is what really started my anti-Widgets stance.

As I'm typing this on 10.3.9 please don't hold me to these numbers, 
but I think it's something like 30MB per widget.
