Attached is a screenshot showing output of Top and system monitor. It shows the initial memory spike. I then tried the "settings" button and things got worse -- so bad, in fact, that top stopped refreshing, so I don't have evidence of that.
I should also say that this is entirely reproducable for me in Unity 3D but does not happen at all in Unity 2D. ** Attachment added: "one.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/980895/+attachment/3059585/+files/one.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980895 Title: Xscreensaver 'interferometry' crashes session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/980895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
