Xorg: xserver using _a lot_ memory

[Christoph Höger]

Hi,

I am seeing this since a while, Xorg really sucks somewhere in memory
management.

16840 root      20   0  577m 250m  11m S  3.7 12.6  22:10.17 Xorg

xrestop:

2200000    17    2    1   26 1013     6350K     25K   6375K   ?  
4e00000   222  514    1  452  460     4102K     29K   4132K 18030 
2000000   198   61    1   31   88     1510K      9K   1519K 17188 
1c00000    38   57    1   12   43     1334K      4K   1338K 17184 
0000000     2    0    2    0   79     1333K      3K   1337K   ?  
3a00000     0    0    0    1    0     1333K      0B   1333K   ?  
1a00000    32   39    0   18   81      104K      3K    108K 17295
5200000   154   85    1   54  112       60K      9K     69K 18033

So where did my memory go? And who of you guys has it? I want it back ;)

(and how do I make a valid bug report out of this? Is there a way to
attach a tool like valgrind (not at that debug-level), to see where xorg
looses it's memory?)

regards

Christoph
