You have been subscribed to a public bug: The Xorg process consumed more than 1GB after a few days of up-time, however, kwin process only used 60MB of memory, which could indicate it is different bug than the #1402551. Scrolling and switching between windows have become noticably slower. Probably this happened after I wrote and tested several Java GUI applications, but closing all of the GUI applications doesn't reduce the memory usage. I am using the default intel graphics driver. I have nvidia but didn't use it.
