Title:
[i945gm] Xorg HUGE memory leak with firefox and large fonts
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg
Not sure if this is to be considered a Firefox or X bug. If I open a
html file with some big font in it, like the one attached, as I start
scrolling up-down and left-right around the page the X process start
eating memory so fast that in few seconds the kernel starts OOM
killing, or it pages so violently it takes ages to kill X even using
Alt -SysRq -k. I've 3Gb of physical memory and gets filled in a matter
of seconds. If you manage to kill firefox in time X does not release
the memory.
I consider this a really serious problem, and do not know whether is
an X or firefox problem. With chrome everything is ok.
