So, Shell is eating a sizable fraction of RAM, but hey, it's other people's problem to try to make their applications fit in the remaining space? Because, you know, people run computers and tablets to experience the GNOME brand, not to actually *do* anything...
Having the shell eat 15%-20% of system RAM on a 1GiB tablet is not "doing fine" by any reasonable stretch of the imagination.
