As many others have pointed out rythymbox uses insane amounts of RAM after about one day of use.

I work on performance tools at Red Hat. I have been told there is interest in tuning the desktop to improve performance. I have a number of questions to help identify the work needed in this area. I would be interested in any answers that people have for the following questions.
What is the set of software in the "Desktop" (executable names and/or RPM packages)?
What specific performance problems have people observed so far in the desktop? For example heavy CPU or memory usage by particular applications. Another example long latency between event and resulting action.
What metrics were used to gauged the effect of software changes on performance?
What performance tools have people used so far to identify performance problems with desktop applications?
How well or poorly did the performance tools work in identifying the performance problem?
Were benchmarks used to test performance of desktop applications? If so, what type of benchmarks were used (e.g. micro benchmarks or measuring the amount of time required to do something in an application program)?
Were the benchmarks runnable in batch mode without human assistance?

You don't think that Microsoft does performance work? They most certainly do. And they're pretty good at it too.
Of course, if they get input from people for performance work its all private, under NDAs and stuff like that. This is where we can do better.
