Comment 48 for bug 565981

Martin,

Although the initial feedback from most people seems to indicate that the proposed update fixes the issue, I haven't seen anybody post output that would positively confirm the leak as being fixed (in other words, that the GEM object byte allocation is actually reducing when applications are closed).

Is it possible that the leak is still present with the patched server? The reason why I'm asking is that my system has just 768MB of RAM, and depending on my usage pattern it can take several hours for me to recognize the sluggishness (typically when the GEM allocation reaches ~300MB or so). Users with larger amounts of RAM may not notice any problems until much later, perhaps.
