This appears to be a problem in Ubuntu 16.04, where hud-service is
taking up 2.4 GB of RAM after 27 days on my system.

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.
