Is it "better" if you compiz --replace &
? I'm trying to drill down a similar problem that seems to happen with Ubuntu 11.10, Unity and Compiz. After some days of a working X session compiz is growing and hogging more and more memory/cpu. There is a leak somewhere. I have several apps open all the time (VMware player, Firefox, Opera, Gnome Terminal, ...). $ ps aux | grep compiz roland 2424 0.0 0.0 4264 388 ?

Even if nothing happens at the desktop at all, it consumes 10% cpu time (Core2 Duo). This is getting worse with bigger uptimes. If I restart compiz like mentioned, the whole desktop instantly feels faster and more fluid (not because of the memory, I'm not swapping). How can I help pinning this one down? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887677 Title: Possible Memory Leak using 3Finger with Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/887677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
