I upgraded to 13.10 in time of Final Beta release and I observed a much higher use of RAM compared to 13.04. This is very bad to the point that my SWAP which is 4 GB (6 GB of DDR2 RAM) becomes filled sometimes and is always used in more than 2 GB after couple hours.
I've noticed that unity-panel-service uses large portions of RAM in one case it was 1 GB but also I'm observing today unity-sope-home using 390 MB. Also running the command mentioned earlier: watch -n 0,5 ps -o rss= `pgrep unity-panel` I see that the value goes up and up and it doesn't stop. Also when looking at terminal opened with this and using the menus of programs and indicators the numbers start to rise up like crazy and they don't go down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

I killed it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see why it was totally pegging out a CPU. I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short while after that.
