This is a me-too. Running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit with unity. The indicator
outed itself :) I noticed high memory use from its little icon on the
top bar, so I checked top and saw the indicator-multiload process had
1.8Gb resident. The compiz process was using hundreds of meg, maybe
excessive but

Reading the comments twice, the original issue was indicator-multiload
causing a leak in compiz and it seems fixed. At least no one did
complain about it recently and I don't see indicator-multiload causing
some leak in compiz (feel free to speak up if you see something though).
However what most
Wow, changing the System monitor width seems indeed to make things better.
Though it's not completely fixed with this workaround, as I can notice a leak
at a rate of ~0.1MB/10min (compared to the 0.1MB/10sec before...).

I can also confirm that the memory leak still exists. I have a uptime of
12 days now, and the indicator-multiload process used 49,9% of my memory

Another change that I applied around the same time as when my memory
leak stopped appearing was to reduce the System monitor width value to
30 pixels from the default value. I'm not sure how that could be
related, but I thought I'd mention it since the memory leak disappeared
around the same time
I can confirm that the memory leak is still appearant in a fresh Ubuntu
12.04 install. A restart brings it back to normal for a while, but then
it takes off towards 1 GB again.

@imz: I personally havent't experienced any memory leaks with
indicator-multiload for quite a long time now (even before 12.04). It
definitely seems to be an issue of former times.
Besides, in case you didn't know, the tool is now available in the official
Ubuntu software repositories as well.
Could you please help me to decide whether this bug affects Ubuntu
12.04?
I found out the information about the indicator-multiload at

cdysthe, care to do some more research for your case?
- Could you attach the output of dpkg -l 'compiz*' 'unity*'

- Could you check whether this problem gets worse when you decrease the update
interval (e.g. 100ms)?
- Could you run compiz with valgrind like this valgrind -v
I'm still having a memory leak problem with this indicator. It's not as
bad as it was, but compiz's memory usage goes up to around 400 mb after
