Same problem for me, not with akonadi, simply by installing mysql. mysqld uses approximately 130Mb at startup and goes up to 806 Mb adter 10 minutes, without any server process running.
Any workaround yet ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to akonadi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576930 Title: Excessive consumption RAM of mysqld daemon in Kubuntu 16.04 Status in akonadi package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In the last days using Kubuntu 16.04 I've noticed that after a while of use, RAM consumption of mysqld daemon rises above 800 MB, even surpassing Firefox, as you can see in the attached images. Initially, when system is just booted, RAM consumption of mysqld daemon it remains approximately 135-140 MB, but I have seen how after a while, in a matter of a few minutes, without touching anything, consumption rises progressively to around 830 MB. In the second image you can see that mysqld daemon is related to Akonadi, which at the same time has a lot of threads running. It is possible that the problem is in managing Akonadi processes, but it is clear that consumption of mysqld daemon is not normal, and that there must be a problem, either MySQL or Akonadi, causing this situation. I tried replacing MySQL with MariaDB, but will not let me uninstall MySQL components without also uninstall a lot of applications as dependencies (like Akonadi, Amarok, Kontact, KAdressBook ...). What I can do, even as an interim solution?
