The whole point of a split greeter is that it is a separate process /
session, which will always involve more memory and resources.  But we
can certainly optimize as much as possible.  And try to reduce how many
duplicate processes the greeter session needs.

Title:
  [split] unity8 and the greeter consume a lot of memory

Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  checking with htop on image #49 i see unity8 consuming ~130M RES
  constantly.

  after the split greeter landed in image #59 htop shows ~200M RES for
  unity8 and additionally another ~90M RES for the unity8-greeter
  process which also seems to constantly run.

  the higher ram usage is pretty noticeable when using multiple webapps,
  using more than two the ones in background constantly gets SIGKILLed
  ... before i could run up to 6 of them before the restarting happened.
