maybe the bug is already fixed on mesa 7.1 and xorg 1.5 releases candidates. if someone could provide me packages on it, i could test them.
4884 root 20 0 392m 65m 9.9m S 7 3.3 19:12.72 Xorg
Only 65M res and 9.9M shared memory in use by Xorg. This is the version that is tagged for testing but never got uploaded because mesa 7.1rc4 is damn buggy.
Have you experienced the bug when using 1.4.2 from the official packages? If so, it means the bug is fixed on latest versions.

I look at it with htop and top. Or with: watch cat /proc/$(pidof Xorg)/status
This is the output of top after 2.5 hours
3387 root 20 0 279m 200m 27m R 18 9.9 26:46.02 X
and this is with googleearth running
3387 root 20 0 309m 240m 28m S 12 11.9 27:20.90 X
I have 2GB of RAM so I thought those numbers where something usual..
each time I enable kwin's desktop effects it consumes more 30mb of memory
googleearth (from AUR) couldn't now crash on startup.
tapping on touchpad is working again (with a strange sensitivity)
I'be been running X with firefox, emule, kde4 (no desktop effects) and google video uploader for tens of hours and the memory used is about 71m, according to 'system monitor'
but the things seem quite different with kde4's desktop effects, or maybe anything compiz or even opengl related...
