I'd be willing to do memory profiling - I don't know how, and would need some assistance in getting it done. I have noticed that if gnome-shell is running for a couple of days, I run up towards 400 MB of memory used, and the system starts to feel sluggish. Logging out and back in, or restarting the gnome-shell reduce RAM usage to 67 MB, and restore system performance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1718552 Title: gnome-shell uses lots of memory Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On Ubuntu 17.10 (daily build, VirtualBox), gnome-shell uses lots of memory, even more after opening and closing just a few apps (LibreOffice Writer, Chromium, Nautilus.)
