I did a memory test of KDE vs XFCE on my (then-)384MB laptop earlier this
year. On KDE I was using Konqueror and Kmail, and always kept them open.
In XFCE I replaced them with Firefox and Thunderbird. (Epiphany is too basic
for me.)

I was pleased by the XFCE experience (and still use it occasionally), but once I
got it configured with equivalent apps and applets running, it was using more
memory than KDE. Of course, Firefox was the major culprit here, but it's
necessary if I want web features comparable to Konqueror.
