  Nothing. Using my netbook as usual. Did not really notice when this started since earlier today did not feel any significant slowdowns.

  
  That's what happened:
    PID   USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES   SHR   S  %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

  accounts-daemon is using lots o CPU cycles and memory. Stats above are after restarting daemon for several times. Before this memory usage was >60%; CPU - 100%.

  In file attached you should  be able to see there's a loop checking
  for something repeatedly. Not sure this is the cause though, but feels
  like it..

  
  It's the first time I've noticed this problem, but I often leave my computer running unattended so I cannot tell if it's really the first time it happened.
