I have just made screenshots of my system monitor after a fresh reboot. I didn't open any other program. It shows my system using 793,6 MB RAM, while it used to be under 300 MB in 10.10.
I did also attach a screenshot of all the running processes. Compiz is running quite normal, around 70 MB. But it seems to be running a lot of small processes, also some processes tied into unity which are adding up to the total memory usage. But it shows that unity might not be the only cause (though I don't know exactly which processes belong to unity), it is the total amount of processes in 11.04 that add up to the around 250% increased memory usage on start up. Now the question is, should I file another bug report about high memory usage of Ubuntu 11.04 in general? Or is it Canonicals deliberate choice to sacrifice a once lightweight system for a possibly better user experience? I think in type of resource usage 11.04 is now on par with windows 7. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-1.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/735482/+attachment/1981845/+files/Screenshot-1.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/735482 Title: average load is higher than 2 and cpu is at 100% when running unity -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
