Title:
  memory and file descriptor (zeitgeist/activity.sqlite) leak in empathy

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  empathy process takes almost 1G of RSS memory, that's way too much and
  looks like leak as soon as RSS grows over time.

  Another symptom is lots of duplicate open files, 
$HOME/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite is opened 160 times according to 
lsof:
  $ lsof -p 3970 | awk '{print $(NF)}' | sort | uniq -c | awk '($1 > 1)'
        8 anon_inode
        2 /dev/pts/27
      160 /home/darkk/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
        2 /home/darkk/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite-shm
      160 /home/darkk/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite-wal
        2 pipe
        6 socket
        2 /SYSV00000000

  Full lsof output is attached as lsof.txt
