I'm not sure, if it is correct to post here, but I had a similar problems since
I updated to ubuntu 14.04 LTS (x86_64k). Sometimes I had more than 500MB for
each compiz and xorg, which once summed up in 1,2 GB. The system was very slow,
then I even thought it had been freezed (but it wasn't),
I have the same problem. After some time of use (some hours to some
days, after some suspend/resume cycles) compiz and Xorg both reach
around 500MB used RAM each. compiz --replace frees up compiz' used
memory, but Xorg stays the same.
I had the same problem since forever (starting with natty and
nerdy_kid:
Please help us to figure out if this is Unity (which always occupies most of
compiz' memory) or Compiz itself. Please:
1. sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
2. Log out and log in to Gnome Classic
3. Does the problem persist when logged into Gnome Classic?

I can confirm this bug or maybe a similar one on Openbox/LXDE. After
about 20h of uptime Xorg is now taking up 250 MiB of RAM. My experience
with Unity/Compiz was similar.
Is there anything akin to compiz --replace for Xorg?
Additional information:
- Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
- Linux 3.2.0-36-generic
I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. With 7 days of uptime, Compiz is using about
800 MB of memory. It's not enough of a leak to crash the desktop over
the weekend, but still annoying.

I'm experiencing the same problem with Xorg. I'm not even using compiz.
After resuming from a suspend, Xorg's memory usage increases and stays
up until a restart.

This bug simply needs to be taken seriously. From what I have read this
issue mostly effects users of Nvidia's propriatery drivers. I use MythTV
which means I need to leave my computer on all the time to record TV
shows. This means daily I must execute Alt+F2 then run unity
--replace to reduce the
Is this really an important issue? All you have to do is run compiz
--replace every morning on your desktop, resize and move all your
windows back to where they were, and presto, you get a bunch of memory
back from the system. Except that over the weekend your whole desktop
can freeze or become
Memory leaks are bugs. Maybe not always high priority but this should
stay open until it is fixed even if that takes a while and it isn't the
focus of anyone working on it. Also closing this WONT FIX will leave
anyone who has this problem in a way where it does matter (such as on a

I noticed that Xorg chews memory even with Unity-2D -- it's using 177MB
of RAM and climbing right now. Perhaps that is a separate bug...
