Public bug reported:

1) ouroumov@Box:~/Desktop$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release:        16.04

2) ouroumov@Box:~/Desktop$ apt-cache policy eom
eom:
  Installed: 1.12.2-2
  Candidate: 1.12.2-2
  Version table:
 *** 1.12.2-2 500
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) eom memory usage should not increase over time

4) eom memory usage does increase over time

---------

I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's intended behavior.

See the evolution of memory in the plot at the end of this thread: https
://ubuntu-mate.community/t/possible-memory-leak-in-mate-panel/7717/15

If eom maintains a dedicated memory cache, IMHO it shouldn't at least on
Linux because Linux file caching is good enough. If it does not maintain
a memory cache then eom is leaking memory.
