After running the 'stopwatch' feature of gnome-clocks for awhile (>=50m), my system becomes extremely slow & unresponsive. The behavior seems indicative of thrashing/swapping, although performance slows to such a crawl that I can't open the 'Resources' tab of the system monitor to check the memory usage. One gnome-clocks is force quit, the system returns to its normal, snappy performance.

It would seem that gnome-clocks has a memory leak. What I am observing seems to be thrashing, as an eventual result.
