Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Periodically, I see bursts of process creation and cancellations from
hal-acl-tool. E.g.

Apparently, hal-acl-tool creates a sequence of processes to run
polkit-read-auth-helper,
processes that last few milliseconds. This occurs periodically, slowing down
applications.
