Hi!
I have ArchLinux with Qt 5.4, KDE Framework 5.7.0 and KDE Plasma 5.2.0 installed on laptop.
During launch plasmashell uses almost twice more, than in KDE 4.14. During use plasmashell utilize over 600MB - that is more than as for KDE.
Install was made by different way:
- by deleting KDE 4.14 and then installing Plasma 5 with KDE Framework from official repository ArchLinux
- by installing clear ArchLinux and after that installing Plasma 5 with KDE Framework
- by installing clear ArchLinux and after that compiling Plasma 5 with KDE Framework from git sources

No one of this methods does not improve situation with using RAM on Plasma 5. In this form it is not suitable for use, even with 5.2.1 version released. In 4.14 plasma uses ~60mb ram on cold start, and not more than 80mb during use whole day. At case of 5.2.1 - 600mb by half day. This is more than all system and browser.
Hope, that this very big issue will be fixed with nearest releases.

Here is my explanation screenshots:
