Hi Doug,

Thanks for reproducing the issue on two computers. I could understand the X process consuming more memory but it's a bit weird that even client apps take more memory.

Do you happen to know if this is a regression from the previous -nvidia (from the xserver 1.9 days)?

If you uninstall nvidia and go back to nouveau, does the memory go back down to the low levels?
