Thanks.

The original bug (comments #1-#2) shows gnome-shell graphics memory grew:

  139MB -> 445MB

And after removing extensions it is:

  109MB -> 204MB

So there is still a large amount of growth, but it appears most of the problem was triggered by extensions. I think we would need a longer amount of time to see just how high it goes, to get a clearer picture of what improvement removing extensions makes.

Still, we should keep this bug open to investigate GPU memory usage in general.
