Public bug reported: While i have team fortress 2 running, even if it's just sitting idle at the menu, X continually leaks memory. Here's some examples from top
Just after restarting X, and starting TF2: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 18952 cshadowr 20 0 3440m 696m 45m R 16 8.7 0:33.55 hl2.exe 16685 root 20 0 694m 85m 22m S 0 1.1 0:37.16 Xorg After leaving it overnight: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 18952 cshadowr 20 0 3367m 696m 45m S 15 8.7 97:40.81 hl2.exe 16685 root 20 0 1907m 1.3g 23m S 0 16.2 12:16.79 Xorg I have 8GB of RAM, so 16.2% is about 1.3GB of RAM for Xorg. On occasions i've seen it go up to 80, 90%, making the computer eventually just freeze. Closing team fortress 2 does not free the memory and X still leaks regardless of if compiz is running. I know that it may be team fortress 2, wine, or X that is causing the problem. But as it's X that is actually leaking, i figured i would file a bug against X.
