I agree ! This is a VERY big issue. Here, I have 2 laptops : my old one, a core duo Macbook running Debian sid (1.25Go of RAM) and my brand new Dell XPS M1530 (4Go of RAM).

On the end of the day, on the Macbook, NetworkManager eats nearly all the RAM. On the end of the day, on the Dell XPS, NetworkManager eats 9.2% of the RAM, which result to 377Mo approx.

This means that the bug is not linked to Ubuntu, but more a global NetworkManager issue. Please note that I don't switch networks during this period : I stay on my WLAN using WPA2.

Please note that #214593 seems to be a duplicate of this bug.
