I also have an enormous RAM increase since I updated my 10.10 system to 11.04 beta. Whenever I did a fresh reboot of my system it was using under 300MB RAM from Ubuntu 6.06 to 10.10. Now it is using around 800MB RAM after a fresh reboot and is going up to 1.3 GB RAM with just Firefox 4 and Empathy open. As I am on a 1.5 GB RAM system it is also starting to use SWAP space to cope with the increase.

This memory increase is causing the whole system to slow down enormously and applications to crash often.

I am using the Nvidia Proprietary drivers and have a Nvidia Geforce 6100 graphics card.

Hope this bug will be released before the final release. Otherwise it is going to affect a lot of users.
