Mutter, the Shell and Memory Usage



Hi,

I currently use the gnome shell on Debian and love it! However while
glancing at top for a unconnected reason I saw this:

top - 16:28:09 up 19 min,  5 users,  load average: 6.87, 7.50, 4.86
Tasks: 186 total,   5 running, 181 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 61.8%us, 30.3%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.2%id,  0.0%wa,  7.7%hi,  0.0%si,
0.0%st
Mem:   2064872k total,  1921816k used,   143056k free,   190052k buffers
Swap:  2168732k total,    63576k used,  2105156k free,   749892k cached

Note the 21.4% memory usage of mutter. Is this to be expected? 

Thanks,

Chris
