The difference is not perceptible.  I haven't actually measured either;
but I haven't noticed any sudden shortages of RAM or CPU after
connecting an external monitor.

Usability-wise, a second screen is good -- you can edit the source code
of an application on one screen and read documentation/test the results
on the other screen.

Compiz has its share of bugs with this config (don't keep any windows on
the lower desktop when you disable the upper one with xrandr -- your
windows will be moved offscreen), but it's bearable, with an occasional
compiz restart (Alt-F2, compiz --replace, Enter).
