[Bug 569711] Re: The system is very slow. The memory is not freed after closing a program. (-pae)

 

I have an always growing gem_objects count, 2BG of memory gets
eventually full and extreme swapping starts. Closing apps never drops
the count down. I have ATI radeon RV280, KMS enabled, Ubuntu 10.04, no
external repositories, no ppa, just plain Ubuntu installation fully
updated. Tried with -generic kernel and a custom compiled 2.6.33.3
kernel from kernel.org, both are the same.

If I disable KMS then xorg enters an infinite loop or something like
that, it can't be killed with "kill -9" and the computer must be
rebooted with sysrq (different bug, first appeared on Karmic but still
present on Lucid), so I must have KMS enabled.
