Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Was testing some stuff with the places. (application and files) and dash for a period of time, happened to notice memory use 9actual) was abnormally high.
Did a restart to clear, every use of either raises mem . in a manner not expected or proper?
Attached is pidstat on compiz, each large increase in a use of one of the three, about 3 times on each 
(the last use crashed compiz which at this point was not unexpected.
