Whoa- I missed that completely, I think! Sorry you thought I was ignoring you. As far as determining the cause, for the most part my system is fairly standard, an Ubuntu 9.04 system that's really only got their updates on it. I'm running the NVidia closed-binary driver, but I have my doubts as to that causing such large increases in virtual/resident memory usage (it's so far and away bigger than any other of the ~20-odd windows/programs I'd have up and running at the time. I've been running Opera for a few years now (since 2002, anyway) and this is the only platform I've seen it on, but it's also the only one that's: - a 64-bit platform - using the NVidia closed-source drivers - using Compiz Again, I'd love to have something to send the devs (map usage, the output of "inspectr" (is that finally running on the Linux/64 platform) but I think in my mind it's just not releasing all the pixmaps (which could be related to the display driver), but that's just my wild guess. I guess I could suffer thru the "nv" driver for a while :) and see what's up, but I develop on this system, too, and stuff like that might interfere with work. I have a AMD 64-bit system that's "headless" (i.e., I run the standard Ubuntu GNOME desktop on it, but only thru XVnc server), I could maybe move over one of the saved session files and run thru that, I guess. -Kenny -- Kenneth R.
