After some very thorough analysis, I've concluded that zeitgeist is not
at blame here.

If my understanding of the kernel slab allocator is correct, free()
doesn't actually free the memory from a program's space until the kernel
decides it needs reclaimed. As such, zeitgeist-daemon is not at fault
and probably not actually using all that memory.
