** Description changed:

  When gnome-system-monitor started it uses about 52-53Mb of memory. While
  it is running for a long period of time the amount of memory used by
  gnome-system-monitor is continuously growing. In ten days gnome-system-
  monitor uses already 7Gb. It makes the system start to use swap and it
  makes a negative impact on the whole system performance. After closing
  gnome-system-monitor and starting again it uses about the same 52-53Mb
  of RAM.
  
  Expected Result:
  gnome-system-monitor uses about the same RAM regardless of how much time it is working
  Actual Result:
- gnome-system-monitor uses 7Gb of RAM after 10 days of working
+ gnome-system-monitor uses 7Gb of RAM after 10 days of working while right after start it normally uses about 52-53Mb of memory
