Indeed, but we're talking about 3GB of memory here, which seems hard to
justify for such an application.

More than 1GB also sounds excessive, so you seem to be suffering from
the same problem.
Of course, maybe this is not a problem, it is just an artifact of
gnome-shell sharing a lot of memory with other applications, so it's not
actually eating up all your RAM. But this explanation seems unlikely.
I think it deserves a bug report.
