Created an attachment (id=14985)
 --> (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=14985)
some tests

I compared memory usage between nouveau and the blob : when I start with
nouveau, it uses ~500M more than with the other. But I can't find where this
memory is gone. No process in the userspace seems to have used it.
 When I kill X, I get my memory back. See the attachment for some figures.

videocard : 7800 GS AGP (256 Mo)
Kernel : 2.6.24-gentoo-r2
X: 1.4.0.90 plus some patches (I'm an gentoo user :  1.4.0.90-r3)
libdrm, x11-drm, mesa, nouveau from git (last build : 09/03/08 in the morning)
