I'm seeing a very large X process. I have an ATI x1600 ("ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200]") on a Thinkpad t60p (2007-AD1).
X typicaly uses right around 1GB of virtual memory - but xrestop shows a /total/ of 120MB in pixmaps in 61 clients - compiz has about 22MB, as does Firefox 3.0.17.

Please let me know what else I can do. I'd love to have X run in just 300MB at this point (though, yes, 50MB would be oh- so-nice).
