[Bug 1652789] [NEW] indicator-datetime-service using high volumes of ram/memory

 

Public bug reported:

I have noticed every time my computer boots into Ubuntu, it freezes up
with the mouse lagging and then unfreezes. I notice the SSD making huge
amounts of read/writes (which I imagine is into virtual memory/swap
space). I have to leave the computer for 15 mins or so before coming
back to it.

I noticed `indicator-datetime-service` was using a lot of RAM in `System
Monitor`. So I killed it, and it comes back again each time I kill the
process. So I clicked 'Stop' with has seemed to have temporary fixed the
problem. Obviously now the correct time is not displayed on the task
bar.
