Not speaking to the specific of *your* gnome or even your underlying
distro, but 'generally' across linux distros gnome has become the most
'bloated' resource consuming DE of them all.  All of the DEs based on
gtk+ have increased use of resources from having gone to gtk3, such as
XFCE and Mate and LXDE going to Qt instead, except KDE which has managed
to reduce its resource consumption by achieving more/better modularity.

That opinion is based on booting various live linux distro/s w/ various
DEs over the years to their default desktop and measuring ram used w/ free.
