I have the same problem on eeePC 1005PE after updating to ubuntu 10.10. Use of RAM ~20% while system runs out of swap and mutter dies in pain. All you need is to roll with a mouse over sidebar on left (quicklists). System is totally unusable, however looks like unity 2D version does not have this problem.
