As for what "features" could cause that much memory usage... all of them... nUI is replacing every element of the user interface and tracking almost every action that occurs in the game for you and all of your party and raid members. Until I rewrote the event engine last week, it was using about 200k of dynamic memory a second to do that. That is now down to well under 1k per second, but it's still there. You can get to 30 meg in a big hurry if the garbage collector stops running.
Have you done the clean install yet?
EDIT: I should add, too, that how much memory a mod is using is irrelevant to performance except with regard to garbage collection. It's how the memory is used that counts. I'm not sure what you base your "I personally don't think it should be that high" statement on, but if you look at the features nUI provides and you build a collection of other mods that do that same thing, I'll guarantee you nUI uses less. But that doesn't matter. What matters is CPU load and code efficiency. You're hung up on a mostly meaningless number.

i made a clean install today, yeah improvements for sure but i have to use addons like arkinventory,quest helper.. i bet it will still cause some problems when i add that addons to my list.
i am not the coder but what bothers me about is that i think sometimes when u install some extra addons you start tracking stuff twice a time..
for instance i cant really get used to HUD , vertical bars , i cant see my buffs on it , target and targetstarget gets mixed , its too big that i cant track my hp and target hp in a one "lookup" etc ..whatever..
when install another unitframe addon , that i start to tracking unitframes twice with 2 addons.
-edit-
even the unitframes down in console is better for me, atleast u could add a unitframe near char as another hud display choice.
