Title:
  unity-panel-service uses 3% to 5% of one CPU core all the time

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  unity-panel-service sits at between 3% and 5% of one core, all the
  time. That's up to 50 MIPS! What's it doing?

  Only standard indicators used, and most Unity lenses and scopes not
  installed. Internet access is available and unfiltered. Standard Intel
  Mobile 4 GPU.

  When I set the datetime indicator to show seconds, unity-panel-service
  uses an additional 1% of CPU. That's 10 million instructions each time
  the clock ticks!

  Sample strace output (most of it looks like this, repeated over and
  over again, once per second):
