Dapper & Compiz: huge memory footprint

Published by peter April 21st, 2006 in linux.

After using compiz/xgl for a week (yes, you DO get used to wobbly windows and rotating cubes). I kept noticing the huge ammount of memory used by compiz/xgl… On my 1Gig system it was using arround 500MB! Since running eclipse in combination with open office and magicdraw screams for memory I decided to turn of xgl/compiz for the moment.
To bad because all those fancy effects really make windows people want to run linux!
