[Bug 1815550] Re: gnome-shell high memory and CPU usage when using zsh

Please remember to log out and log in again. I am not yet convinced the
extension doesn't leak the monitors it previously had so I would want to
see it still happening even with a fresh instance of gnome-shell.

> (Using the stock gnome session for longer suggests that there may
indeed be a separate memory leak bug; its memory use was up to 1GB RSS
after a couple of hours. I'll file that separately if it continues)

Thanks. I was thinking exactly the same but had not yet said it...

Bug description:
  This *may* be an nvidia-specific problem, but the RSS of gnome-shell
  on my system grows without limit (over a couple of hours it's
  increased past 10G).

  At the same time, gnome-shell appears to become progressively less
  responsive.

  Restarting gnome-shell (via <Alt><F2> restart) drops shell RSS down to
  ~400MB and improves system responsiveness a bit.
