Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Compiz on natty (beta 1, amd64, with all the latest updates) uses up
increasingly large amounts of memory. It starts off with 10 - 20 MB
resident on boot, but continually keeps growing. Right now, with an
uptime of about five hours, I see it using about 200 MB of resident
memory. Previously, with an uptime of 1 day, it was using upto 500 MB in
resident memory. I'm using a Dell XPS L502X with a quad-core Sandybridge
with the nouveau module blacklisted (since it doesn't support nvidia
optimus), so I guess the Intel Sandybridge GPU is being used. I've only
enabled the minimal set of compiz extensions (see attached unity.ini).
Also, I'm running the classic ubuntu desktop rather than the unity
desktop (having only 4 virtual desktops is a show-stopper for me). I'm
not too sure about what other attachments I need to include, but I'd be
happy to provide any more information that might be required to resolve
this bug.
