gnome-mag's memory usage

["Aurelian Radu" <ricaradu gmail com>]

Hello, lists,

After half an hour of using gnome-mag, memory usage for the magnifier process increased to around 625 MB, as seen in the attached screenshots. Is this a memory leak or is it a feature? Is this huge cache really necessary? It is true that the magnifier process releases some memory when needed by other applications, but the system becomes really slow.

Thanks,
Aurelian Radu
