I cannot reproduce this. I ran apport with -S system and no cache
directories (so it had to download everything). For xeyes (tiny report)
I get

VmPeak:   169884 kB
VmSize:   168680 kB
VmLck:         0 kB
VmPin:         0 kB
VmHWM:    103936 kB
VmRSS:    102880 kB
VmData:    78200 kB
VmPeak:   166392 kB

and for gedit (large report, over 5 MB compressed core dump) I get

VmSize:   148744 kB
VmLck:         0 kB
VmPin:         0 kB
VmHWM:    104744 kB
VmRSS:     87296 kB
VmData:    82324 kB
VmStk:       136 kB
VmExe:      2176 kB
VmLib:      8152 kB
VmPTE:       300 kB
VmSwap:        0 kB

given the overhead of Python etc. a magnitude of 100 MB data is very
reasonable. Also, the original problem here has been fixed and the fix
is still in place. Can you please file a new bug report with an example
crash that causes memory usage to explode? Thanks!

** Changed in: apport
       Status: New => Fix Released
