1) The post has problems with math and the numbers are wrong
2) For fair comparison you should add memory used by daemons/services, otherwise I can say that gnome-shell uses only 200 Mb which is almost twice as low as your number
3) I am not sure if you can properly measure memory usage with Windows Task Manager. You need to account properly private, shared and swapped out pages for each process.
