[Bug 1402551] Re: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia]
Which logs do you need for debugging?
** Description changed:
Hello,
since the Xorg/nvidia security updates last week, I encounter a problem with growing Xorg and kwin memory usage.
In one hour the memory consumption is at Xorg ~ 270 MiB and at kwin: 300 MB , so the system responds slowly and scrolling is very slow in in dolphin, kwrite, firefox, etc.
After several hours the system is so slow, that only a restart helps, and then the growing of memory starts again.
*** My Tests;
I tried several nvidia drivers, but without success (from:

edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+index?field.series_filter=precise)
