Title:
  Excessive memory usage by unity-webapps-context-daemon

Status in WebApps: libunity:
  Fix Released
Status in “libunity-webapps” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  unity-webapps-context-daemon uses way too much memory for an application that simply gives me an icon to click on to get to a web application.  This can be done with zero memory usage with a revolutionary technology called a "bookmark."  For example, Facebook is currently using 80M RES / 473M VIRT:
  /usr/lib/libunity-webapps/unity-webapps-context-daemon facebook facebook.com icon://unity-webapps-facebook [Invalid UTF-8]

  I've seen it get as high as 120M RES before.  This is crazy!  Combine
  that with Google+, using 25M, Google Calendar with 15M, another 15M
  for Lauchpad, and Gmail with an unexpectedly low 6M, and another 3M
  for the unity-webapps-service, and we reach an appalling 141M RES
  memory being used.  I really want Webapps to be useful, but until this
  memory situation is resolved, it makes no sense for me (or anyone
  else) to leave it enabled sucking up memory when the only
  functionality they give is that of some fancy bookmarks.
