Don't be so quick to point the finger at nvidia. I removed the nvidia drivers and found the same behavior. Often, not all the memory a window uses gets freed upon closing the window, and streaming applications, music, video, seem to leave behind about 20% of the data they process in memory. In all the memory loss didn't seem any different with nvidia/compiz or without.
