gnome software taking large amount of memory

[fcole90]

I just notice that gnome-software is taking at the moment 377MB of memory, which I consider quite excessive.

Let me know if I can help more.

What happened?
gnome-software using high memory, up to 377MB

What did I expect?
gnome-software using at most 280MB

Today I woke up, with the laptop running though the night, and I discovered GNOME software is using 721.5 MB of memory.
