Bug Description
Gnome shell is the single largest resident memory user on my system.
It was hovering at ~700mb, then with a few minutes of use of the system (nothing in particular, mostly shell windows, one google-chrome window) - spiked to ~980mb or so, before retreating to 903m.
Even with 16gb of ram, that's a huge chunk of the system.
I've not been able to identify anything in particular that I'm doing that triggers the growth.

Please:
1. Uninstall any non-Ubuntu extensions. We need to test this first since so many bugs are caused by extensions.
2. Provide a screenshot confirming you're talking about RSS and not talking about the VSIZE of the process.
