Compiz is not expected to be using that memory... And neither should chrome. I think you have a resource leak emanating from mesa (or at least mesa on behalf of the client).
The easiest way to use perf (after installing it with apt-get install linux-tools) is sudo perf top. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201403 Title: Unity performance issue on intel gpu Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The overall performance of my notebook feels worse when I Use unity. After starting my computer everything seems to be fast, however in a short time (in 1 hour, or less based on usage) things became slow, and sometimes sluggish. A reboot seems to solve this. Suspend/resume seems to make things slower a bit For comparison I tried using XFCE for a while (compositing disabled). The overall performance felt better. Webpages tend to scroll smoother, intellij IDEA used to slow down (noticable lag when typing), I didn't notice this behaviour while I used xfce, even when the IDE did some cpu intensive like rebuilding indexes. When I use Unity the cpu usage of compiz grows over time even if nothing happens on the screen, and I close every application. Also my battery seems to drain faster ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-2.11-generic 3.10.0 Uname: Linux 3.10.0-2-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.10.2-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Mon Jul 15 13:38:02 2013 DistUpgraded: 2013-06-24 19:15:01,815 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: saucy DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: vboxhost, 4.2.16, 3.10.0-2-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:0009] InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-04-29 (77 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: TOSHIBA PORTEGE Z830 MarkForUpload: True ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-2-generic root=/dev/mapper/hostname-root ro quiet libata.force=noncq splash pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor elevator=noop vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-06-24 (20 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 04/18/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: TOSHIBA dmi.bios.version: Version 1.80 dmi.board.asset.tag: 0000000000 dmi.board.name: Portable PC dmi.board.vendor: TOSHIBA dmi.board.version: Version A0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 0000000000 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: TOSHIBA dmi.chassis.version: Version 1.0 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnTOSHIBA:bvrVersion1.80:bd04/18/2013:svnTOSHIBA:pnPORTEGEZ830:pvrPT224E-017014HU:rvnTOSHIBA:rnPortablePC:rvrVersionA0:cvnTOSHIBA:ct10:cvrVersion1.0: dmi.product.name: PORTEGE Z830 dmi.product.version: PT224E-017014HU dmi.sys.vendor: TOSHIBA version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.9~daily13.04.18.1~13.04-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs 20090808ubuntu36 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.45-2ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 9.1.4-0ubuntu2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 9.1.4-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.14.1-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu3.1 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2.1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.21.9-0ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.8-0ubuntu1.1 xserver.bootTime: Mon Jul 15 13:34:43 2013 xserver.configfile: /etc/X11/xorg.conf xserver.errors: xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.14.1-0ubuntu1 xserver.video_driver: intel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1201403/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
