Comment 3 for bug 779717

Regarding comment #44 in the other bug report (possible cause for memleak may be an icon cache) I can add that decreasing the refresh interval of indicator-multiload increases the rate of rising mem usage.
At a refresh interval of 100ms, with cpu and ram graphs active, compiz mem usage rises at a clip of about 7 seconds per megabyte. Does this sound reasonable regarding the sizes of the icons, Michael?
A temporary workaround for now could be to set a longer refresh interval. Also, shouldn't this bug also set "affects compiz", as per the reasoning in comment #44?
