I am running Debian testing via SparkyLinux, with Openbox desktop. A few days ago I noticed that there were 3 packaged processes each consuming 25% of total RAM (4 GB). I stopped the packaged service via systemctl, system performance improved. Two days ago I rebooted for a kernel upgrade, packaged restarted and is now consuming 3x 17 = 51% of RAM. RAM usage is increasing noticeably from day to day. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages packagekit depends on: ii gdebi-core 0.9.5.7 ii libapt-inst2.0 1.1.10 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.1.10 ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libgcc1 1:5.3.1-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.2-3 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.46.2-3 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.6.2-1 ii libpackagekit-glib2-18 1.0.11-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-14 ii libsqlite3-0 3.9.2-1 ii libstdc++6 5.3.1-5 ii libsystemd0 228-2+b1 ii policykit-1 0.105-14 Versions of packages packagekit recommends: ii packagekit-tools 1.0.11-1 Versions of packages packagekit suggests: pn appstream-index <none> -- no debconf information -- systemctl status: ● packagekit.service - PackageKit Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/packagekit.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2016-01-09 20:24:20 CET; 1 day 19h ago Main PID: 1854 (packagekitd) CGroup: /system.slice/packagekit.service └─1854 /usr/lib/packagekit/packagekitd Jan 09 20:24:20 kirtley systemd[1]: Starting PackageKit Daemon...
