Update Manager is memory hog and sometimes becomes unresponsive

[Christopher Forster]

Hi, Update Manager is behaving too slow, and then the window got frozen, although the program became responsive again. GNOME System Monitor shows "Process Properties" & it appears that there might be memory leaks in Update Manager, as it shouldn't use 239,2 MiB memory & Update Manager keeps increasing memory usage, which it does on my computer just now. But the PC is still usable though.
