Comment 37 for bug 981224

I won't be using Raring until it gets released in April, so I guess I'll have to wait a while before I can try it on there.

I just wanted to add some additional tests I did. I switched off my swap space by going into the terminal and typing "sudo swapoff -a". The memory leak doesn't happen over time. Instead, it happens in one fell swoop. Recording for about a mere 3 minutes with System monitor on to see what happens and from 2.1GB used, to straight shutting down my computer.

The leak was so large my system couldn't handle it without the swap space to fall back on. Tested it twice, exactly the same. This is with 8GB DDR3.

With swap space on, I tried reducing the swappiness to 10 (instead of the usual default 60). Nothing helps. The swap still gets filled to fast and causes my computer to hang.

If there's any sort of scenario you want me to test from the daily unstable builds, I'd be glad to help. I'm on holiday, and am up for helping you out in this regard.
