That sounds like something is wrong.
I checked on 5 different machines, one of which is a corporate laptop, and every one showed Defender using 100-150MB memory. 3 of those machines have 64GB memory. My desktop (which has 48GB memory) has been on for a week, and is currently showing 135MB.
In my experience, Defender's resource usage is actually low by comparison to others. McAfee is the worst, by a long shot - fans spin constantly, it uses up to gigabytes or memory, and is a ludicrous CPU hog.
