Bug description:
  Compiz leaks memory (see memory map evolution chart attached)
  After a few hours, the whole desktop becomes slow (menus opening, window's content refresh, ...) to the point the user needs to restart the desktop.

  I noticed that it eats more memory when I switch between desktop,
  which I use to do a lot during normal activity.
