Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
When compiz starts, it uses about 50mb of ram, but that amount increases over time. I left it running for 8 hours, and the memory usage was 1,6 gigabytes.
How to reproduce:
1. Start compiz
2. leave it running for a longer period of time
It will use about 50mb of memory at start, the usage will grow over time. After 15 minutes it will use 100mb.

Confirmed. Starts out lightweight but keeps on growing. I haven't had it become catastrophic yet but it has been taking up more resources than it is welcome to.
