Hi

unity-2d:
  Installed: 0.4-0ubuntu1~bzr405
  Candidate: 0.4-0ubuntu1~bzr405
  Version table:
 *** 0.4-0ubuntu1~bzr405 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

What happened:
I was running the PC as normal but it suddenly be very slow at doing anything. When watching the RAM usage from the system monitor I noticed that unity-2d-places had a RAM usage of ~140Mb.
Then found out that when i show and then hide the dash that the RAM usage would slowly.

What should happen:
unity-2d-places should use extortionate amounts of RAM.

Note: I have included a video showing the high memory usage and the memory usage increasing as you show and then hide the dash.

I hope that this bug can be fixed as it leaves the system feeling very slow and should remain at its normal usage of ~32Mb.
