Sebastian, apt-get and Synaptic are not daemons.

Daemons are not permitted to consume 13MB of RAM unless they are SQL servers, Web Servers or something equally large.

My parents are using an older PC with Ubuntu on it, just like many other folks.

With Gnome and a few pages in Firefox open, they have about 100MB of free RAM, and your huge, fat little daemon consumes 13% of it.

This is bug, a big nasty bug. Daemons aren't permitted to use that much RAM. No other daemon in a clean Ubuntu install consumes more than 5.
