Is anyone aware of an issue with the HUD in 14.10? I left my laptop 
running earlier today, just chrome and a file sharing program running, 
oh and thunderbird. Came back about three hours later to find it was 
unusable and running so slow I couldn't even navigate the dash.

Eventually I got the system monitor loaded and took the following 
screenshots:

I was rather surprised to see nearly the whole 8GB ram being used, over 
5GB by the hud itself.

So what's going on there I wonder?
