Re: help on debugging individual extensions

[Matt Paine <mattzerah gmail com>]

I wouldn't mind some information on debugging leaks also. I have the
same issue, if I have gnome-shell running for a couple of days things
grind to a halt, logout is the only solution I have found so far.

I believe in my case its a combination of running chrome and netbeans
side by side all day long, but I would love some information on how I
can determine whats actually causing the entire system to slow down.
Note simply closing netabeans and chrome does not always do the trick,
gnome-shell still requires a restart, however now I am thinking maybe
it is one of my installed extensions causing the issue.

Thank you.
Matt.
