I wanted to ask you all about what graphic card you have, but I was hesitant because I thought that I might sound stupid. I also have Intel graphic card and I noticed that my cache memory increases by changing to full screen and back to windowed mode in SMPlayer. This is the output of cat /proc/dri/0/gem_objects (taken while there is still memory left, but again an enormous amount used by cache)
1212 objects
789098496 object bytes
3 pinned
23965696 pin bytes
96223232 gtt bytes
260308992 gtt total

I have no idea if this is normal or not.
The problem is that right now I am using the intel driver from xorg-edgers PPA repository, but I had the same high memory usage problem with Lucid's default intel driver.
