Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. We have tried to
recreate this on the latest release of Ubuntu and cannot reproduce it.
This bug is being marked as Invalid. If you believe the problem to still
exist in the latest version of Ubuntu, please comment on why that is the
case and change the bug status to NEW.

I tried this on Ubuntu 15.10 Beta 2. Compiz didn't use more than 85 MiB
under the conditions you describe.

Title:
  Opening the dash causes memory usage to climb dramatically, and never
  comes back down

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This may not be a bug at all, but thought I'd report it anyway.

  I am NOT reporting a memory leak - at least, I don't think so.  I am
  simply reporting this:

  When I start a desktop session, Compiz uses 85M of memory.  It stays
  there as long as I *do not open the Dash*.

  Once I open the Dash - simply pushing the Ubuntu button, and then
  closing immediately - the memory usage climbs to ~120-150.

  If I go through every page in the Dash and open every sub-page and see
  every icon available, the memory usage clibms to ~185M.

  Re-visiting the Dash, no matter how often, doesn't cause a further
  increase, but I'm not certain the Dash should use ~100M of RAM all by
  itself.  I'm not sure how much it *should* use, but it just seems a
  bit excessive.
