I've never noticed high memory use with Gwibber.  My problem has been
with the high CPU usage.  I have a dual core Atom N270 processor, and
Gwibber has one of the cores running constantly high ranging between 94%
and 107% (I didn't even know the graph could go over 100%).  And this is
when the program is technically closed.  I can't watch videos any more
because of the high CPU usage, and Thunderbird freezes periodically,
making reading mail a pain.  In the end, I had to completely eliminate
Gwibber just to get some decent functionality back.  I'm using Seesmic
Desktop (an Adobe AIR program) to check my feeds now, but I like the
convenience of Gwibber being connected into Ubuntu.  I hope they can get
this sorted out.

Title:
  gwibber uses a lot of memory

Status in Gwibber:
  In Progress
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  gwibber seems to be using a lot of RAM for being such a simple
  application. Here's my current "top" output for gwibber:

    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
   4662 mkanat    20   0  607m 109m  21m S  0.0  5.5   1:29.76 gwibber            

    As you can see, it's using over 100MB of RES and 607MB in Virt
  (which is a real mystery to me, though Res is of course what I care
  about more).

    I have one Twitter account and one Facebook Status Updates feed
  configured.

    It doesn't seem to be leaking memory, it's just always using around
  100MB.
