[Bug 720446] Re: possible memory leak in compiz when using places, dashboard
I also saw a rapid rise in memory usage with compiz on an update from 10.10 to 11.04 on two different machines (both with Nvidia 8400GS). So I tried a fresh, clean install on one of these computers. It seemed fine for the first day, but the next day compiz was at 2GB memory usage. I was also using indicator-multiload and terminated it. This stopped the constant steady rise in compiz memory usage, but did not stop all memory increase. Now, with the System Monitor open and Compiz highlighted, I can bring up either Dash (Super key), Alt-F2, or Apps (Super-a) and watch the Compiz memory increase as I open and close these launchers. It goes up roughly 1MB per open/close.

[Bug 720446] Re: possible memory leak in compiz when using places, dashboard
Sorry for being late to the party... :) I'm a Conky user (simple analysis program). Conky auto-starts at login, and I constantly monitor its output. I've been aware of a significant mem leak in Unity, since I first installed Natty, but was unaware of this bug report, until today. Luckily, I take frequent screenshots, so it was an easy matter to look back through my portfolio for mem usage. Here are some representative readings of Compiz usage, from 18-Feb (first install) through 9-Apr (today): 2 min 57 sec = 61.7 M 1 hr 53 min = 103 M 2 hr 48 min = 146 M 3 hr 10 min = 149 M 4 hr 31 min = 182 M This is a fair sampling, and clearly demonstrates (based on the screenshot dates) that the mem leak has been consistent and ever-present from the start. As Doug McMahon noted, it increases over time, regardless of user activity. I'll subscribe to this bug report, and watch it closely. If/when change(s) occur, I'll report back.
