this is really an architectural/system problem that needs a wider
discussion/decision about how we implement split greeter in the future.

Title:
  [split] unity8 and the greeter consume a lot of memory

Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  checking with htop on image #49 i see unity8 consuming ~130M RES
  constantly.

  after the split greeter landed in image #59 htop shows ~200M RES for
  unity8 and additionally another ~90M RES for the unity8-greeter
  process which also seems to constantly run.

  the higher ram usage is pretty noticeable when using multiple webapps,
  using more than two the ones in background constantly gets SIGKILLed
  ... before i could run up to 6 of them before the restarting happened.
