This is a common issue with gnome-shell.
1. Can you try disabling any gnome-shell extension and see whether it is still present? If no, then one of your extensions is to blame. There is no easy way except manually enabling/disabling them and having a look at gnome-shell's RAM usage.
2. If you are sure it is an issue in gnome-shell, you're probably running into https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642652.

Thanks, Christian,

Looks like I'm suffering from the bug that was reported years ago, I am running the vanilla shell that exists in Fedora 24, looks like I will have to use an alternate Desktop Environment because I don't know why the gnome-shell has such horrible memory management that can consume up 6GB based on my experience, can't recall seeing it on F23 though.

Thanks again for your response, highly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Earl Ramirez
