Package: fwupd
Version: 2.0.8-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I kept noticing very high memory usage on my desktop and tracked it down
to fwupd. I now restart fwupd every week or so to keep it from using all
RAM.
Currently it's only been running 2 days and it's got 6.9G resident, 7.5G
virtual, and 10.9% of memory, and is the top memory user, according to top:
```
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2321320 root 20 0 7504636 6.9g 36732 S 0.0 10.9 27:51.60 fwupd
```
But after restarting, it's using a small 0.1% of my memory at 47k
resident and 370k virtual:
```
3563598 root 20 0 369384 47320 36136 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.75 fwupd
```
This definitely didn't used to happen, so I presume it's a recent
update.
