me.
It's quite a large 'coincidence' imho, users reporting different
indicator apps causing the same problematic memory issues. Perhaps
something in compiz that handles the indicators causing something ... ??

It seems to me that whatever refreshes that top bar is causing the

system indicator, and the system indicator refreshes a lot..

The main hack that indicator-multiload uses is that it generates a new

are only 2 icons existing at the same time) . So maybe somewhere in the
