[Bug 1642634] Re: indicator-datetime uses excessive memory
Still having this issue with Ubuntu 17.10.
Disabled the option to Show clock in the menu bar and it still causes the issue.
Iǜe also set the time manually instead of Automatically from the internet and it has no effect.
Does anyone have a workaround?

Title:
indicator-datetime uses excessive memory
Status in Canonical System Image:
New
Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On my Aquaris 4.5, OTA-13, indicator-datetime
15.10+15.04.20160820.1-0ubuntu1, it uses too much RSS. A typical RSS
is 315892, almost three times as much as unity8.
I believe this is an OTA regression. I'm not sure if it regressed from
OTA-11 or OTA-12.
Just now, I got caught in an oom killer loop with constant killing of
unity8-dash because of this, making my phone unusable. I had to kill
indicator-datetime manually. It then restarted automatically and now
uses 80456 RSS only. I see bug 1633319 exists complaining about a
memory leak. It's not exactly the same version since mine is
15.10+15.04.20160820.1-0ubuntu1 and that one is
15.10+16.10.20160820.1-0ubuntu1. But perhaps the upstream versions are
the same or something? Perhaps the two are dupes, but I'll let someone
more familiar make that determination.
I have only a handful of alarms (perhaps five on average; rarely more)
but I do have my Google calendar syncing with perhaps hundreds of
events. However, there's no reason that this should cause indicator-
datetime to use more RSS; it shouldn't be keeping these in memory.
