Apparently this problem affects me more than others:
wolff 2575 0.0 47.1 48272128 15494168 ? Sl 2016 161:12 /usr/lib/gnome-applets/cpufreq-applet
On my system, the applet had consumed 48 Gigabytes of memory before I noticed..... It was started so long ago the date is mentioned by "ps auxww" as "2016".
