[Bug 1461551] [NEW] System gradual overload with GoogleTalk + Plasmashell +Firefox

[Rick Timmis]

Public bug reported:

Using a Google Hangout, from Firefox, or Chromium. FF Uses GoogleTalk
Plugin, Chromium uses its own embedded version.

 After about 4 or 5 minutes during which time the system load slowly creeps up, the Video becomes Choppy, and the Audio broken.
Switching off the Camera, helps eleviate the problem, but only in the sense that it slows the creeping system load progression down.

Eventually the audio becomes unusable, and I have to drop the Hangout.

Hopefully he system report from apport-bug will shows that I am using
the Intel Grphics drivers, and these did have some issues with on the
early plasma 5 tech preview version.

I also grabbed a few lsof files from the GoogleTalk plugin as the
Hangout progressed. At this point I am a little unsure how to progress
the debug process further
