 If I monitor with `top' the %MEM field of xfce4-panel, I see that
 normally it uses about 1.3 or 1.4. When I add cpufreq-plugin the
 consumption gets much higher; for instance now, after 1 day, it's
 already 17.6. It keeps increasing with time, until I can launch 
 no new programs as fork fails, since both ram and swap are filled.
 Actually running sid on amd64.

Hi

I just monitored the plugin for about 18 hours and memory usage stayed
at 1.8 the whole time so I cannot reproduce this issue (on i386).

Are you sure it's the cpufreq plugin? Can anyone using an amd64 system
reproduce this?

It seems it's NOT reproducible either on i386 or on ppc (Emanuele
Rocca and Yves-Alexis Perez checked).
Other than that I know of no ways to check that this problem is
actually caused by cpufreq plugin. All I can say is that if I add it
the memory keeps growing, and if I remove it then it stops. The
problem could be elsewhere, but it doesn't happen with other plugins.
Hence I think it's a cpufreq plugin issue.
If you know of any way I could run it in valgrind or something like
that please inform me :)

All the best,
Roberto
