I have two instances of Ubuntu server versions running, I have not specifically compared to the regular desktop edition but I presume it is significantly lighter.

Xubuntu isn't actually any lighter than Ubuntu with Gnome - that's a
myth.  They have very similar memory usage, and these days sometimes
Xubuntu is even heavier.  It's a nice alternative with a bit different
feel, but it's not lightweight.
