Title:
  gnome-software using hundreds of MB of memory when not in use

Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  It seems gnome-software is running in the background all the time. Not
  a big deal if it was lightweight, but it seems to use hundreds of MB
  (from smem output):

    PID User     Command                         Swap      USS      PSS

   2291 jan      /usr/bin/gnome-software --g   285436   112576   117982   
134036 

  A total of over 400MB in RAM and swap combined.

  After killing and restarting, it takes "only" a bit over 100MB.
