Can confirm this bug also affects me. `gnome-shell` is currently consistently the top program in `top` -- ~5454092 (Virt) / 2.4g (Res) 15.2% Mem
Other behaviors I've noticed: - Nautilus is slow at times - When browsing the filesystem from a web browser (ie. attaching a file, or any "file dialog" moments), selecting the file causes it to hang for 5-10s Did not have any of these problems with 18.10. Some system-specific details: - I use an NVidia card (v418.56 of drivers, GTX 960 card) - Steam is running (I saw a few other people mention it; don't know if this would be salient or not) - I had to disable Wayland so that my system would boot correctly (This seems to be an NVidia thing) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815550 Title: gnome-shell high memory and CPU usage when desktop files are constantly created or deleted Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons: New Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons source package in Disco: In Progress Bug description: This *may* be an nvidia-specific problem, but the RSS of gnome-shell on my system grows without limit (over a couple of hours it's increased past 10G). At the same time, gnome-shell appears to become progressively less responsive. Restarting gnome-shell (via <Alt><F2> restart) drops shell RSS down to ~400MB and improves system responsiveness a bit.
