I left the computer open and left home (no background processes doing nasty things or anything like that) and when I got back pmap on X shows this: Address Kbytes Mode Offset Device Mapping 08048000 1528 r-x-- 0000000000000000 016:00009 Xorg 081c6000 56 rw--- 000000000017d000 016:00009 Xorg 081d4000 1809308 rw--- 00000000081d4000 000:00000 [ anon ] b54f6000 5124 rw-s- 00000000d347b000 000:0000d nvidia0 ..... mapped: 1844492K writeable/private: 1816832K shared: 13832K I assume the [anon] block comes from nvidia. For a firefox-bin with 8-10 open tabs and a thunderbird, that is way too much memory eaten and quite frankly I have no idea where that comes from. Any suggestions would be nice, since I don't want to restart my X server every two hours. Would installing firefox from sources make any difference, if it's firefoxes fault that is ?
