Thanks.

Since the memory gets freed once firefox is exited, perhaps you have a
general performance issue rather than just a memory leak.

There are some known performance issues in -ati with KMS enabled.  If
you haven't tried it already, you could test if booting the kernel with
the option radeon.modeset=0 makes it perform well with no degredation.

Thanks, so this is suggesting it is something particular to the -pae
kernel, can you confirm this observation once you've done additional
testing?

Sorry, dunno, I've not heard of polkitd before.  Given its high cpu/mem
usage, do you think it is the thing that is bugged here, rather than X?
