I have seen compiz.real use 794 MB of memory on my 2 GB system! When this happens, I go to "System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual effects" and choose "None". After compiz is shutdown, I re-select "Normal" and compiz.real starts up and only uses 18 MB of memory. Somewhere along the line, a memory leak or similar is causing compiz to waste 776 MB of memory.
FYI, I am using the Nvidia binary driver. -- Xorg & compiz eats lots of memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
