I have the same problem, after launching Eclipse, the memory consumption 
of the Xorg process rises dramatically. According to top:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
19170 root      15   0  544m 190m  916 S  4.0 37.8  23:47.14 Xorg

it uses more than 500 megs while its normal consumption is below 100.
Strange is that the consumption does not decrease at all if I quit 
eclipse! (It does not increase any higher if I start Eclipse again.)

Is it a bug in Xorg? I don't think its normal...
