[Bug 550585] [NEW] x.org consumes much memory than before

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I've kept UBUNTU 10.04 running for about 2 days.
I noticed that the xorg process consumes much more memory than 9.10 did on the very same hardware environment. On 9.10, xorg consumes about 70M around and it is about 10 times than that now on 10.04.

I don't know whether this is really a BUG.

See this:
