I think I can confirm that the high Xorg memory usage is due to this update, I
am now sitting at 3.30GB after a dozen hours.
To make really sure of the cause, I am going to revert to the 1.17 build of
Conky and let it run for a dozen hours too.
In the meantime I am bumping the bug severity

Please bisect if you have time
I bumped the severity of the bug report, because the memory leak could cause
more issues than the increase in CPU load. Feel free to change the severity
level if you think I did not chose the right one.

I noticed that Xorg memory usage grows over time to unexpected levels. I think
it started at the same time than the high CPU usage so it might be related, but
I do not know how to make sure of that.

In case it might help finding the root cause of the increased CPU load, I am
attaching the Conky configuration file I use to this message.

Source: conky
Version: 1.18.1-1
Severity: normal
Before the upgrade to 1.18.1, Conky had a low CPU usage, around 2~5%.
Since the upgrade to 1.18.1, it has a much higher CPU usage, around 10~20%. In
addition, Xorg CPU usage is increased to 15~30%.
Reverting to Conky 1.17.0-1 the CPU usage goes
