Public bug reported:

I upgraded to saucy (from raring) yesterday (x86, 32 bit). After the
first log-in, the weather indicator was on the panel, and I've decided
to quit from it, since it's unusable for me (always shows 18C, but not
so important and not the scope of this issue). It exited, but it seems
it was relaunched all the time I wanted to exit via the menu of the
indicator applet. At the end I was in the mood to kill the process from
a terminal window, but still, it was relaunched. So I removed the
package since it was annoying anyway and I didn't want to use it.
Finally it was not relaunched again (of course).  According to
.xsession-errors file:

Warning: Only changing the first 12 of 10 buttons.
Script for ibus started at run_im.
Script for auto started at run_im.
Script for default started at run_im.
init: indicator-weather main process ended, respawning
init: indicator-weather main process ended, respawning
init: indicator-weather main process ended, respawning

init: indicator-weather main process (6712) killed by TERM signal
init: indicator-weather main process ended, respawning
init: indicator-weather main process ended, respawning
init: Failed to spawn indicator-weather main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
init: unity-panel-service main process ended, respawning

I am unsure this was the reason or not, but I mentioned because it can
be a related issue or so.

After some hours of work, the desktop felt more and more slower with
aggressive swapping. According to top (sorted by memory usage) unity-
panel-service was at the top with 40% of memory usage!

I had to kill unity-panel-service (it was re-spawned after all) to
restore my system into a usable state again. Currently I am waiting for
the problem to show up again to append this report, but not so much till
now. I am not sure about the connection between these issues, or related
at all.
