Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-mag

After using Gnopernicus with gnome-mag for a few minutes, System Monitor shows increased memory usage for the "magnifier" process. It went as high as 625 MB of RAM after half an hour or so. Gnome-mag releases some of this memory when needed by other applications but the "magnifier" process never goes below ~290 MB of RAM. I don't know if it's a memory leak or a feature, but it really slows down other memory-hungry applications.
