You mentioned later that you meant 40MB, and with that in mind:

No, it isn't.  Your X server is *NOT* using 40MB of memory.

I bet your video card has, oh, 32MB of memory, right?

So, that 40MB consists of:

  32MB of video memory mmaped into the X server memory space.
   8MB of memory used by code, heap, shared memory, etc by the X server.

If you want to improve performance the X server isn't really the place
to be looking.
