I see the same problem with compiz.real process growing in size, but with an Intel video card:

ady 5512 0.3 67.2 1554180 1380664 ? S Dec03 4:11 /usr/bin/compiz.real --ignore-desktop-hints --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-client-id default0 ccp

That comes around 1.3Gb of resident memory on a 2Gb RAM machine. Hardware is Dell OptiPlex GX620 with an Intel 82945G/GZ video chipset driven by the "intel" xorg driver, OS is Ubuntu Gusty 7.10 amd64 freshly installed. So this quite excludes the video driver as a root cause.

Machine has been perfectly running previously with Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 i386 (32bit). This leads me thinking there is an issue in Compiz when compiled as 64bit binary. Let me know what other data you would need me to upload.

I think it's best that we unlink this bug from #151168 since that one is directly tied to the NVIDIA driver.
