Can someone explain me why XFCE (4.10) is using 1~5% of RAM (1.5GB minus 128MB of shared VRAM) with the Nouveau driver and around 15~25% of RAM with the Nvidia proprietary driver (304-xx)?
Im a little confused, if someone needs more info about the machine, please let me know what to do.
Thanks.

I think the problem is the library Cairo being loaded on every application using libGL, I don't understand so well, but here are some outputs:
$ lsof /usr/lib/libcairo.so

Is the cairo package builded with gl? Because there are some posts about problems with that:

But they are a little old...
