I have a problem with my computer.

It goes into very bad paging from slow to unusable.

Runs Ubuntu (with regular updates) and i think it's an Intel Core.

I think it has 2 GB which IMHO should be -way- more than it needs for
what i do with it, run Mozilla and basic apps, and have negligeble
paging.

This didn't happen more than a couple weeks ago; previously it was very
crispy.

A quick check with "ps" is that Mozilla is at 1 GB and Nautilus is at 2
GB and other programs added up add some more GB. All of which i think is
totally ridiculous.

My instinct is that someone inadverantly introduced a memory leak
somewhere (some app, some library, in the kernel??).

Anyone see something similar, and what do we do to fix it?

Unusual for Moz to use much more than 64MB resident.

So what plugins did you install 2 weeks ago?  

Or do you let it update & install what it wants when it wants? :)

yes, it's a 'buy it off-the-shelf and assume those guys know what they
are doing cause i have better things to do' machine

not 'it has to be x.y.z. of A, t.u.v. of B, and q.r.s. of C' machine for
development; i have other puters for that

really i want to run Mozilla and not have it slower than some machine i
used in college
