[Fabrizio F <1396017@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am experiencing the same problem. 
htop shows "upstart --user" till 36% MEM and 98% CPU, after 8-10 hours.
No workaround found. 
.xession-erros is full of: "upstart: Temporary process spawn error: Cannot allocate memory"
The only solution is to kill the process (or to restart lightdm...).

  After ~3 days uptime the upstart process on my system begins to
  exhibit excessive CPU/RAM usage and affects the system responsiveness

  and generally slow task switching in the UI:
