I tried live usb booting into Precise amd64 a few days before final release, left it running overnight while bittorrenting. Didn't notice much of an increase in memory usage in nm-applet, maybe 10% at most, which is far far better than what I'm seeing in natty. Also, I never encountered the little menu stub that's common in Natty after a long enough time. So things have obviously improved. The version in Precise (0.9.4.1 ish) is a fair bit newer than the one in Natty (0.8.4 ish). Again, any chance some patch(es) might get backported? This really is a security issue, in a networking component no loess, and Natty is supposed to remain supported until October 2012.
