For composition to not eat memory (a full frame buffer's worth/activity), the buried windows need to be "unmapped" in X parlance. When a window is unmapped, X can free the contents of the window even when composite is running (IIRC).
This may require some work in whatever window manager we decide on. - Jim > > Just for the record, I'm not strongly advocating for composition in > 8.2.
