Title:
  indicator-datetime-service using high volumes of ram/memory

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
