I've honestly never given terminal memory usage a second thought. Here is the memory usage of konsole version 26.04.1 on CachyOS.

     Private  +   Shared  =  RAM used       Program
     53.3 MiB +  25.1 MiB =  78.5 MiB       konsole
Above is with two tabs open. Below is 18 tabs open. In the settings the memory limit is set to 192 MB (Default)

     Private  +   Shared  =  RAM used       Program
     61.9 MiB +  33.1 MiB =  95.0 MiB       konsole
Using ps_mem.py [1] - I suggest using this instead of ps to avoid confusion around shared memory.
