this has been covered before, tmux runs status-left and -right through
strftime(3) itself so you are asking it to run a new command like 'date
+"Wed Mar 23 2011 17:01"' every minute. until very recently these
commands were persistent so each minute it would allocate a new job
entry and cause tmux to use a lot of memory
