Hi Doug, Thanks for reproducing the issue on two computers. I could understand the X process consuming more memory but it's a bit weird that even client apps take more memory.
Do you happen to know if this is a regression from the previous -nvidia (from the xserver 1.9 days)? If you uninstall nvidia and go back to nouveau, does the memory go back down to the low levels? ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/725434 Title: nvidia-current causes a significant 'across the board' memory use increase -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
