This appears to be a problem in Ubuntu 16.04, where hud-service is taking up 2.4 GB of RAM after 27 days on my system.

First 2-3 hours Unity is running smoothly (Dash, HUD, etc.) Afterwards, opening Dash or HUD and even switching workspaces and starting applications becomes very slow. Sometimes I have to restart lightdm from a tty-console or reboot. Running "top" in a terminal shows that a process called "hud-service" is consuming up to 60% of CPU and RAM resources. My hardware should be perfectly able to cope with 13.04 (Dell Latitude E5420, quad-core, 8GB RAM) and was until about two weeks before.
