Comment 158 for bug 1572801

A new report is not a bad idea since here there are people complaining of different problems. Some complain about a memory leak while others complain that the use of ram is about 500-1000 MB higher than 14.04. (which is my case)

My best bet is that there is some problem with unity or with a component of gnome since newer versions of the kernel haven't done the trick so far.

That said I've been using 16.04 in my work machines for the last year and the system has been perfectly stable and usable. I'm just bogged down with 16.04 using that much ram it's almost like windows.
