The main system which I use for work is Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. I use gnome with many extensions (see above). At the beginning the memory usage of gnome-shell is ~177MB. (Interesting that in another machine, which is a laptop and has exactly the same system and almost the same hardware, gnome-shell uses ~150MB at the beginning) During my work (using e.g. Octave, LyX, Chrome) the memory usage of gnome-shell is increasing continuously, but when I restart gnome-shell with "Alt+F2 r <ENTER>", after some time the memory usage doesn't drop to the original value, but ramains at a higher value, which is approx. 200-250MB. This value is slowly increasing. I assume that there is a memory leak somewhere in gnome-shell or gjs (or somewhere else), but only a portion of the leaked memory can be freed with "Alt+F2 r <ENTER>". I tried to watch what causes the jumps in memory usage, but coudn't figure out it. Sometimes e.g. locking-unlocking the screen, but sometime it seems to be random.
