I assume you have 1 GByte of memory installed, which is what I currently
have because two 1 GByte DDR400 modules are broken on my system.
Ihave a very huge and heavy FVWM configurration and it consume arround
70 MByte. Running 12 XTerms and 3 instances of mutt using IMAP and 3
instances of IceWeasel using 3 different profiles and OpenWritwe consume
arround 800 MByte of memory.
Note: I use FVWM since 12 years now and it performs perfectly.

I know, FvwmScript can run crazy if mal coded (the Exit Dialog is one of
the candidates) but I can not believe FVWM consume this memory on your
Computer.

It is the best Window-Manager available!
Please can you provide more infos about your system?
