Same bug with Ubuntu 14.10 on Dell E6510. Compiz used ram increase each time i search something in the dash. I have noticed that using last nvidia drivers (331.113) or legacy (304.125) does not make much difference. Using instead the xorg nouveau drivers it is much better. Used ram by compiz starts with 38Mb and I could reach 106 Mb, but not more.
Moreover in the system monitor application, selecting the memory map for compiz process I see that what is eating ram is the heap of this process. I will attach screenshot. ** Attachment added: "compiz-ram1.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/982434/+attachment/4295882/+files/compiz-ram1.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982434 Title: Opening the dash causes memory usage to climb dramatically, and never comes back down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/982434/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
