I am running Ubuntu 14.04. hud-service is using more and more resources
as time passes. The computer has been idling for about an hour and
memory usage is up to 1.7 GiB and CPU usage is at 12%. By idling I
actually mean that I had VirtualBox with one VM running but I was away
from the computer and memory usage continued to climb. The problem
doesn't seem to be related to other applications running, as stated by
others.

I was alerted to the problem yesterday after using the machine all day
and troubleshooting a different issue. After several hours of use,
memory useage by hud-service was at 3.9 GiB.

I checked an Ubuntu 12.04.4 computer and it doesn't experience this
issue.

Title:
  hud-service is consuming too much recources

Status in Unity HUD:
  New
Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For a couple of days now (I assume since recent Unity updates), my Laptop is performing more an more poor throughout the day. First 2-3 hours Unity is running smoothly (Dash, HUD, etc.) Afterwards, opening Dash or HUD and even switching workspaces and starting applications becomes very slow. Sometimes I have to restart lightdm from a tty-console or reboot.
  Running "top" in a terminal shows that a process called "hud-service" is consuming up to 60% of CPU and RAM resources.

  My hardware should be perfectly able to cope with 13.04 (Dell Latitude
  E5420, quad-core, 8GB RAM) and was until about two weeks before.
