Public bug reported:
Found my pc running very slowly. Currently machine is swapping like mad.
Highest users of RAM are chrome and gnome-software. I've closed chrome,
and note that gnome-software is climbing at an alarming rate of hundreds
of MB every few seconds.
I don't even have the graphical store open, only the background service
is doing this.
Currently 5.7GB RAM consumed.
This is the rate of growth every 5 seconds.
$ while [[ 1 = 1 ]]; do ps aux | grep gnome-software | grep -v grep; sleep 5;
done
