Thanks for these numbers!  After working with CDE on
sparc/solaris, I was pretty pessimistic, but these numbers are
considerably smaller than for the sparc binaries.

That is quite a bit bigger than my X server (nearly double). 
What resolution and depth?  Since CDE apparently requires Xaccel,
this could be a concern...

Does dtwm typically stay around 3 megabytes, or was this shortly
after starting?  I ask because mwm starts out about that size,
but under normal use, falls to about half that (resident size,
that is).

That one seems about the same as xterm.

That is about the same as the freely available moxfm which I use
on occasion (dtfile has a much better interface).
