Public bug reported:

For some reason, with nvidia-current (270.41.06) installed, Xorg uses around 600M of ram when just started, with an idle desktop.
No effects or anything enabled.
Also, it seems to leak memory as after some use, its memory use goes up to around 1G, at which point the system gets horribly slow. Still later, when the entire 2G of ram and 6G of swap are used up, the system crashes.
I.e., not really usable.

Now, when i manually install the 270.41.19 driver, this reduces memory
use somewhat, with an idle desktop just after starting its down to 80M.
But after some time and use (firefox etc open) this easily climbs back
to 500M but doesnt seem to leak anymore.

Kubuntu 11.04, 2.6.38-8, x64, 7600GT
