Comment 38 for bug 1300722

Just hit this whilst using Gimp (possibly due to a bug in Gimp). Editing an image, Gimp goes unresponsive (window fades), and CPU usage on *all four* cores goes up to 100%. Close Gimp, 3 cores settle down, but hud-service is still 100% on one core, using 1.3GB of RAM and rising. ~/.cache/upstart/hud.log doesn't actually seem to exist at the moment, although hud.log.1.gz etc. do. Therefore I can't do anything useful with d-feet, as I understand it.
