gmp uses 240mb memory

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Laptop has an uptime of 9 days, with suspends overnight. Today I noticed gnome-power-manager using a combined of 240mb ram, which is way too much - unless it's doing amazing magic that I'm not aware about.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Here a valgrind log report, as this bug also affects me.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Thanks Alexander.

Just wanted to add that at the time I killed the valgrind process, it reached over 100mb, though when starting new with valgrind it was already at 70mb.

My gnome-power-manager once has over 100mb and another time it was over 300mb.

Here's another valgrind memcheck log with full symbols for all packages in the stack, so you can more easily decipher the full call stacks, etc. This is from running for 24 hours (or slightly less).
