Bug Description

I have installed GNOME on ArchLinux with pretty much the same setup as in Ubuntu, (same extensions, same programs and same libs).
Nevertheless, on Arch, GNOME Shell RAM usage is 30/60 MB, on Ubuntu 150/160 MB. In general Ubuntu is way slower and heavier than arch in pretty much all tasks.
I do not understand why that should hold.

Just after having turned on the system, without opening any program, Ubuntu uses 800 of 2000 MB of RAM while Archlinux 450 MB.
