[Bug 1396017] [NEW] Upstart excessive cpu and memory consumption

 

Public bug reported:

After ~3 days uptime the upstart process on my system begins to exhibit
excessive CPU/RAM usage and affects the system responsiveness to the
point I have to restart the system due to slow window redraw and
generally slow task switching in the UI:

08:25:31 up 3 days, 23:01,  7 users,  load average: 2.13, 1.75, 1.55
