Xorg high memory usage
linux 4.0.7-2 x86_64
xorg-server 1.17.2-2
My system's been up for 5 days. I come back to it after being away for a few days to see that (according to htop) Xorg is using 52% of my available memory (16GB). At boot, it's much, much lower, though I don't have a figure to present at the moment. Even after closing all applications, it remains at 52%. Anyone know what's going on?
Edit: 0.2% memory usage upon reboot.

Re: Xorg high memory usage
Sorry for the delay, had to wait for it to happen again (7 days uptime).
