Major kudos to microsoft. I'm impressed, still do you think avatars will increase the memory usage?
*edit*
Oh, maybe it's the moving background that sony uses?

You want to know WHY the blades use less memory than the XMB? Because in order for the UI to run seamlessly/smooth, you'd require more memory in order to run it proper. The blades are locked at 32mb to conserve total memory for games, however they run slow.
Not to mention, the XMB renders at 1920x1080, I believe the blades (and the new UI) render at 1280x720, or less.
The footprint of the XMB might be greater, but it runs better than the blades.
