Nothing. Using my netbook as usual. Did not really notice when this started
since earlier today did not feel any significant slowdowns.
That's what happened:

accounts-daemon is using lots o CPU cycles and memory. Stats above are after
restarting daemon for several times. Before this memory usage was >60%; CPU -
100%.
In file attached you should be able to see there's a loop checking for
something repeatedly. Not sure this is the cause though, but feels like
it..
It's the first time I've noticed this problem, but I often leave my computer
running unattended so I cannot tell if it's really the first time it happened.
