Anyone on NVIDIA proprietary driver and getting memory leaks in Xorg process, can you try the following?
1) swapoff -a
2) quit all applications and anything minimized to your system tray but keep a terminal open and restart kwin (kwin_x11 or something --replace & disown).
3) close your terminal application.
4) Then ctrl+alt+F3 or F4 then ctrl+alt+f1 back to your session.
5) swapon -a
6) Check if Xorg process is now using less memory (in other terms, if some garbage collection happened).
