Because you don't use extra plug-ins, scripts and, especially, brushes. Let me tell about brushes :) GIMP loads them *all* into memory when it starts. So if you have a bunch of bitmap brushes that weight ca. 1GB which isn't so uncommon when you do e.g. photoart, you have to wait for GIMP to finish loading that all *and* you have it using lots of RAM for no good reason, because GIMP doesn't load resources on demand in a smart way (the -d option is a non-smart way).
