Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

When Playing flash video for some time, i notice that the memory usage jumps and is very high.
The swap is also used up. And nearly 70-80% RAM and 50% of swap [3.39 GiB] gets used.

This happens only while playing flash videos in firefox or Chrome[ium]

From #ubuntu-x
 <Sarvatt> vish: yeah I'm experiencing the same problem with intel right now, disabling BO reuse in driconf fixes it
