Hey, I just discovered "xrestop"; it'll tell me the amount of memory
being used by the components and Windows of the X Window System. I just
started the latest Opera snapshot, and xrestop looks like this:

Also, I'm running, on the machine only running XVnc headless, a clone of
the very ~/.opera dir that's on my laptop, and will be checking for memory
usage on that box as well as I surf on it.
