I tried live usb booting into Precise amd64 a few days before final
release, left it running overnight while bittorrenting. Didn't notice
much of an increase in memory usage in nm-applet, maybe 10% at most,
which is far far better than what I'm seeing in natty. Also, I never
encountered the little menu stub that's common in Natty after a long
enough time. So things have obviously improved. The version in Precise
(0.9.4.1 ish) is a fair bit newer than the one in Natty (0.8.4 ish).
Again, any chance some patch(es) might get backported? This really is a
security issue, in a networking component no loess, and Natty is
supposed to remain supported until October 2012.
