Joining the "me too" section here as freshly new baked 14.04 user. Came here as the hud process currently eats 2,454g and system checking processes (zfswatcher) are failing due to out of memory issues. And yes, I'm a heavy user of Firefox toolbar bookmarks, too. Trying the workaround of disabling the Firefox integration now.

It's taking anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, but it sometimes makes the system completely unusable. 1. run Firefox 12.0 in the foreground 2. hit Alt to bring up HUD 3. type any text 4. select one proposal from HUD 5. wait for unity-panel-service and hud-service to fill up the remaining RAM and swap space. This is due to a high number of bookmarks in a user profile (hundreds).
