I disagree that it's unhelpful.

It's very likely that there are several unrelated bugs in several
unrelated indicators that all cause similar problems.  The unity-panel-
indicator program itself is a very small, lean program that just loads
indicators (which are plugins), provides a drawing context,  and
dispatches the main event loop.

The issue in this bug is one or more issues in one or more indicators.
Identifying the indicators causing the problem is the first necessary
step to finding the problem in those indicators.  The appmenu is one
indicator found to have a serious resource leak when closing (and
possibly when switching) apps, resulting in a steadily growing global
table of callback pointers.  Others, like Clementine, may possibly
spamming DBus with updates (speculation on my part).

More information is better.  We can created new bugs for specific
problems that are identified, when they are identified.  The one
problem, one bug principle will remain unviolated.

  unity-panel-service pegs one of my CPUs at 100%

Bug description:
  Just going about my business on Ubuntu Raring amd64 on an x230 and I
  heard the fan kick into action.  top showed me that unity-panel-
  service was consuming all the free cycles on one of my CPUs.  I killed
  it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see
  why it was totally pegging out a  CPU.

  I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice
  spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost
  it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short
  while after that.
