it also looks like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245026 , though this one was merge with a flashplugin bug/konqueror bug then closed. But the first reports don't talk about flash and report the same amount of leakage. Those three bugs should at least be merged. If only to lighten the burden over branden and takuo arms :) Thanks for the gimp example, i was able to reproduce it somehow. But refreshing or opening the same image in another window does not up the memory usage. Closing the browser free the memory so it may not an xserver bug. It seems like the image stay in the memory cache. I though they ought to move to disk cache when the window is closed but maybe i was wrong. At least the memory cache should have a timeout to avoid us who never close our browser to avoid memory hog. I read a bit more about xrestop and found out it often underetimate memory usage (does not take background pixmaps into account). http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/xrestop I don't know what this is , but i though it was a must know and may explain difference between top and xrestop X memory usage.
