Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
Lately, I've been noticing a consistent memory shortage on my system, with increasing amounts of swap being used, and long delays with lots of disk activity during resumes. I think the culprit is:
mdz 1827 1.3 15.1 2226364 465156 ? Sl Apr10 62:16 compiz

I tried compiz --replace, which seemed to work (redrew all of my windows, messed up my workspaces), but resulted in two compiz processes running:
mdz 1827 1.3 18.1 2181580 557564 ? Dl Apr10 62:31 compiz
mdz 24782 2.8 0.7 347156 21592 pts/0 Sl 20:40 0:03 compiz --replace
and more continuous hard disk thrashing.
Then, the older compiz process actually started to consume *more* resident memory:
mdz 1827 1.3 24.0 2181580 738676 ? Dl Apr10 62:32 compiz
at which point I tried to strace it to see what was going on:
perseus:[~] strace -p 1827
Process 1827 attached - interrupt to quit
