  Test case:
  1. ensure you have indicator-multiload loaded
  2. install unity 3.8.14-0ubuntu1~natty1 from natty-proposed and restart your session
  3. check the memory taken by unity it shouldn't increase as much (still some memory leak) than showed below

  
  While indicator-multiload itself remains static, while it is running memory use in compiz increases about 1MB/min (RSS
  Attached is pidstat log showing at idle for about 4 min, the indicator started and ruuning for about the same, then stopped and back at idle for a  couple of min.
