I am running jaunty with nvidia graphics and am also seeing excessive
(realising that top doesn't report shared memory properly) memory usage.
This machine has been up for a number of days and here is the output of
top

PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
24707 local     20   0  913m 290m  15m S    8  7.4   1241:22 kwin
11822 local     20   0  935m 140m  53m S    4  3.6   0:54.55 plasma-desktop
24401 root      20   0  950m 432m 3652 S    2 11.0 368:24.92 Xorg

X using 432m  and kwin 289m seems excessive to me.


If I then log out, I can see that X still continues to take up all the memory, but after /etc/init.d/kdm restart and logging back in this is the picture:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
19151 local     20   0  557m  80m  36m S    1  2.0   0:20.91 kwin
18778 root      20   0  573m  63m  12m S    0  1.6   0:20.25 Xorg
19158 local     20   0  705m  54m  24m S    2  1.4   0:07.12 plasma-desktop

A whole different situation.

Everything else was the same in both scenarios with the exception of
uptime. There were no applications running.
