I didn't notice a difference with 16.04.01 either. I've switched most of my computers to Linux Mint 18 Mate, which doesn't have this issue even though it is based on 16.04. That OS uses about 400 MB with nothing running, but some proprietary NVIDIA drivers boost it up to about 800 MB. LM 18 Cinnamon (also based on 16.04) also uses a little over 1 GB interestingly enough. So this might be a Gnome 3 issue maybe, since Mate (using Gnome 2) is not affected but Cinnamon, Ubuntu Gnome, Unity, etc using Gnome 3 is affected? I've also been told that Ubuntu 16.04 Mate isn't affected by this bug.
