The bug is not resolved, but are two possible workarounds (choose the one you're most comfortable with).

1) replace udev 147~-6.1 with: udev 147~-6 (force version in synaptic)
  (NOTE: there is a known issue regarding auto mounting USB devices that is fixed in the later version. If this is a concern - see below)
2) rebuild udev 147~-6, apply patch to fix external USB device issue rebuild and deploy
(follow instructions by Martin Pit starting: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/424655/comments/54)

pulseaudio now sits at 6.4 MB resident and 260MB virtual - ah... machine performance is restored!

PS I found stopping rhythmbox, reinstalling pulseaudio, then killing pulseaudio sufficient (rather than rebooting). Pulseaudio is set to autostart by default.
