Memory in gnome-shell does not get freed quickly because of JavaScript
garbage collection. Memory usage will tend to grow slowly and plateau.
Significant drops are rare, but I would not consider it a leak unless
you see growth continuing above 500MB. Starting at 200MB is normal.
If you are still
I switch off all the extensions except for Ubuntu ones. Every
lock/unlock action raises the memory usage by ~10MB until it reaches
~280MB. Super-A (app overview) raised further the usage.
After a while something happend (Not lock/unlock or Super-A) and now the
memory usage of gnome-shell is 302MB
Thanks for the bug report.
The cause of most gnome-shell memory leaks is extensions. So please go
to the Extensions app and disable all the non-Ubuntu ones, then log in
again and retest.
