                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ How are you getting this total,
i.e., what all are you attributing to GNOME? By a rough count, I
get about 150MB of RAM usage for GNOME on my laptop?

CPU usage was constantly at 90-95%, and you were not using anything
other than the desktop? That sounds like there is something
seriously wrong.
