screenshot plasma memory usage
I originally posted this in Bug 430139 but Nate asked for a new bug to be
created.
Since very recently (not sure when exactly though) I have observed that the
plasmashell process is consuming more and more memory at a frightening pace
(e.g. usage grows to 22GB in the space of 3 minutes). Killing it doesn't always
help (see video below).

I also tried:
1) monitoring the process with memleax but nothing was reported despite growing
memory usage;
2) downgrading to glibc 2.36 but that didn't seem to help
