Ah, sorry. If you're talking about 1.2GB used on login then you must be
talking about the virtual memory size. That's not real memory - only
address space.
For actual memory allocations see the VmData field in /proc/PID/status.
I think it's probably safe to call this a duplicate of bug 1759497 then.

gnome-shell uses lots of memory, and grows over time

80% (512MB) of gnome-shell's memory mappings at start up are due to

Title:
gnome (or something) uses a lot of memory
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
After I log in (ubuntu session) the systen(?), shell(?) uses a lot of memory.
When the computer has 2GB RAM, 1.2GB is used. When the computer has 4GB RAM,
1.7GB is used. When the computer has 8GB RAM, 2.2GB is used. I tried it out in
virtualbox with a newly installed system. I changed the memory size and started
ubuntu. I think a new, clean system should use the same amount of memory
independently of the RAM size.
Not to mention that the system is unusable, because RAM quickly fills up
(memory leak?) and become laggy. Unity in 16.04 uses approx. 800kB memory. Why
does gnome-shell need so much memory? I think it should be fixed, because 18.04
is an LTS release! I would like to work with it.Description: Ubuntu
