Greetings,
I was checking FF's RAM usage and at some point I noticed that one running process went up the chart it was gnome-shell, it went at over 200Mb of RAM usage! :o
I am running the fresh release of 11.10 AMD64 Desktopwith gnome 3.2 shell and the apps running were: FF in debug mode 1 tab open, pidgin, terminal and beatbox sleeping.
Anyone noticed this? Btw...it went away after a few minutes, I guess it went to sleep lol

That doesn't seem to odd to me. Compiz uses about 75 mb of ram on my computer, so maybe Gnome shell was under a lot of "stress" right then.

Gnome Shell uses about 105-107 mb of ram with FF open.

It uses 55MB here. How much RAM do you have? The higher amount of RAM you have, the more it'll use. I have 2GB.

I have 4Gb of RAM and 2Gb of swap but it never had to use the swap :)
