Bug Description
Lightdm requires 32MB of memory, that is more than X !
Since lightdm just sleeps after login in, I think it is wasting memory.
Note that the "lxdm-binary" login manager is the only the 36th memory consumer 2364 kB of physical memory :

I think that this bug isn't a duplicate of bug #1074279 since lubuntu can use another login manager (lxdm or slim for example).
The bug #1074279 is specific to lightdm.
