Public bug reported: Hi, I was wondering why 3,6 of total 4 GB of RAM is used and I found, that despite fact, that Chromium takes up to 1GB with 7tabs, the xorg (information from "top" command) takes about 30% of my RAM. That's 1,2 GB and I think this is not OK. I have no problem with RAM demanding apps, but when total RAM usage raises to... about 3,7 GB, the Ubuntu become very slow and after that it freezes and I have to reboot. The monitor in Unity doesn't show xorg at all.
