That's just normal behaviour. Your WB 3.1 disk has a screen mode of 640x256 with 4 colors, i.e. it needs 40 KB chip-ram. Your 3.5 WB has a screen mode of 640x512 with 16 colors, i.e. it needs 160 kb chip-ram. On WB 3.1 each 4-color icon may need around 200 bytes chip-RAM. On WB 3.5 each palette-mapped icon needs ~ 2500 bytes chip-RAM.

Check Contribution directory of the OS 3.5 CD. There should be the wbctrl program which has an option to store icons in FastRAM. Gfx card display should not need ChipRAM.
