I also saw a rapid rise in memory usage with compiz on an update from 10.10 to 11.04 on two different machines (both with Nvidia 8400GS).
So I tried a fresh, clean install on one of these computers. It seemed fine for the first day, but the next day compiz was at 2GB memory usage. I was also using indicator-multiload and terminated it. This stopped the constant steady rise in compiz memory usage, but did not stop all memory increase. Now, with the System Monitor open and Compiz highlighted, I can bring up either Dash (Super key), Alt-F2, or Apps (Super-a) and watch the Compiz memory increase as I open and close these launchers. It goes up roughly 1MB per open/close. So I think that it is more than just the multiload indicator...that perhaps is something that shows up the problem more readily, but the problem is deeper and remains. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/720446 Title: possible memory leak in compiz when using places, dashboard -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
