Brief comment. Have restarted X server 3 days ago to run pretty much just Firefox + MATE terminal. Will let you know later how this goes. So far the X server memory usage (RSS) is about 125-130MB. Which is high, but not super terrible. Usually it takes a few more days before the usage swells.
Another comment, xfwm4 is using quite a bit of X pixmap memory (50-54 MB as reported by xrestop). I have 4 desktops, and the laptop display ix FHD 1920x1080. I wonder if window image caching is what causing this. When it started it measured already at 30MB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884850 Title: Xorg server uses unacceptably large amounts of memory (and keep growing) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1884850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
