Public bug reported:
empathy process takes almost 1G of RSS memory, that's way too much and
looks like leak as soon as RSS grows over time.
Another symptom is lots of duplicate open files,
$HOME/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite is opened 160 times according to
lsof:
$ lsof -p 3970 | awk '{print $(NF)}' | sort | uniq -c | awk '($1 > 1)'
8 anon_inode
2 /dev/pts/27
160 /home/darkk/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
2 /home/darkk/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite-shm
160 /home/darkk/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite-wal
2 pipe
6 socket
2 /SYSV00000000
Full lsof output is attached as lsof.txt
