Comment 8 for bug 203715

I would also like to add Ubuntu 7.10 with default settings as having this issue as well. The compiz.real thread was eatting ~50% of 512MB of ram. It is a recent install, default "Normal" 3D settings, fully updated from the default repositories (did not enable backports or pre-release). I will attach the same files as requested above. The system has an uptime of:
11:38:57 up 1 day, 20:18, 2 users, load average: 1.01, 0.99, 0.60
Basically, it hasn't been shutdown since the install/update finished and has been idle for ~36 hours. I noticed the massive memory usage due to the system monitor in my bar, seeing the swap space near fully used. Top revealed the culprit as compiz.real.
