i reported that problem already there http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2014-May/056636.html but i didnt found a way to fix it yet. but i noticed that it does happen with Gnome-classic and Gnome3 too, but not in the same speed than with cinnamon. (currently 7,4GB) i use the fglrx-updates driver. (i currently use the [Radeon HD 7660D] one as far as my system says) lshw -c display *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: Trinity [Radeon HD 7660D] vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
