Hi Bryce, Before the 11th I had not updated for more than a week (was away from the system for a while) on the Intel laptop. The issue may have been there for the Intel earlier and I did not notice it. I only picked it up recently as I was resizing Firefox with many tabs on a large (1900x1080) screen. The extra screen space in conjunction of having a relatively complex app (if counting the web page) caused my hard drive to really churn. I popped open System monitor to see the huge amount of swap space in use. I quickly realised it was resizing the window that was causing this. Most of the time I rarely resize windows (except to maximise) so this could easily have gone unnoticed for a while.
The ATI system was left without updates for nearly two weeks before I updated it on the 11th. Prior to updating the ATI system on the 11th I was testing the system quite a bit and was doing a lot of resizing of windows (admiring how smooth it was with compositing these days. Yay KMS and DRI2). It was all vary smooth. I updated the system and tried the same things again to look for regressions and soon found after resizing the windows a few times the systems window performance took a dramatic hit (dragging was laggy and very slow). So an update somewhere between two weeks before the 11th had likely caused the regression for the ATI. As I mentioned I'm not sure the ATI is exhibiting the exact same bug as it does not leak memory. Performance simply takes a hit but both cards exhibit the bad behaviour under the same conditions. Is it possible to get a Daily live cd image from or before the 30th of March? I could then test to see for sure if this issue was present prior to the 31st update you mentioned. -- Massive memory leak with Compiz when resizing windows in normal mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
