Public bug reported: I have installed GNOME on ArchLinux with pretty much the same setup as in Ubuntu, (same extensions, same programs and same libs). Nevertheless, on Arch, GNOME Shell RAM usage is 30/60 MB, on Ubuntu 150/160 MB. In general Ubuntu is way slower and heavier than arch in pretty much all tasks. I do not understand why that should hold.
