If you can try running gnome-shell with valgrind or massif, that will give
you more accurate allocation counts, since it will count all the times that
some code runs malloc(). The profiling results from massif would be useful
regardless, but I think you'll find that we only allocate around 300M or so.
If you just want to know how much memory is being allocated with
malloc and have some insights of what is going on in the heap,
mallinfo(3) is a simpler way to find that out.

Yes , I guess it's related . I dismissed that bug for being too old to be
related , but the comments are recent and similar to what I have . Thanks
for the pointer.

I see that the process starts eating memory in no particular way .
Sometimes it stays at ~120MB , and some times it starts rising and can
reach 1.5GB . I alt+F2 : 'r' , to restart the shell and put out the fire
, but the issue has to get fixed at some point , and I don't know what
additional info I can give in a bug report . I'm on Manjaro , updated
(gnome-shell 3.10.2.1-1) .
