3.8.6-0ubuntu2 + 13.01.0+13.10.20131031-0ubuntu1, can't reproduce heavy
CPU load (thanks!) but I do still see some heap growth.  I ran gimp,
libreoffice, firefox for 296 seconds and observed:

heap change: 
   88 brk() calls, growth of 11496K, or ~38.75K/sec growth

CPU usage:
   4.38% (3.95% user, 0.43 system)

~11 minor page faults/second

So it still seems to be consuming memory quite quickly for me.

Bug description:
  Impact: high CPU/memory usage from unity-panel-service

  Test case:

  Open a large image in the GIMP and activate a lot of items from the
  global menu. Using shortcuts is enough and faster to reproduce this
  bug (I've always used Ctrl+A and Ctrl+Shift+A). Memory usage of unity-
  panel-service increases steadily and it uses a lot of CPU shortly
  after activating the menu items in a short time.

  Regression potential: check that the menus are stable/working as they
  should

  ---------
  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.
