Public bug reported: I have seen similiar bug reports,but these are really old and are not related to version 16.10. This is way I'm opening a new one.
Currently the unity-panel-service process uses about 11GB of RAM which is definitely too much top - 11:33:45 up 7 days, 4:09, 2 users, load average: 0,74, 1,08, 1,48 Tasks: 332 gesamt, 1 laufend, 331 schlafend, 0 gestoppt, 0 Zombie %CPU(s): 3,7 be, 1,6 sy, 0,1 ni, 92,3 un, 2,2 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,0 si, 0,0 st KiB Spch : 16309660 gesamt, 211552 frei, 14872856 belegt, 1225252 Puff/Cache KiB Swap: 8266748 gesamt, 6138576 frei, 2128172 belegt. 609444 verfü Spch PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM ZEIT+ BEFEHL 4339 abuesch+ 20 0 11,590g 0,010t 12892 S 0,0 69,0 340:54.64 unity-panel-ser Additionally to all standard indicators I have used the owncloud and cpufreq indicator.
