Description Dave Hodgins 2012-04-24 22:50:10 CEST 
Before starting VirtualBox, I always check to ensure all cpu/memory intensive
applications and services are stopped.  Usint htop sorted by RSS showed
/etc/X11/X was using 150M for RSS.  After restarting the x server, it was back
down to 32068 bytes for RSS.

When x was at 150M Uptime: was 1 day, 17:53:29.

Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2012-04-25 08:34:54 CEST 
Memory is given back to OS when freeed.
It's just keeped in free memory pool of X11-server.
It would be a buf if RSS would keep growing.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
