'system load indicator' makes compiz leak memory

Ubuntu 11.04
Unity 3.8.12-0ubuntu1

This https://launchpad.net/indicator-multiload is a project that shows your cpu usage graph in the MenuBar. When it is being shown in the MenuBar the memory usage of compiz keeps increasing at quite a pace. The bug seems to be easily reproduce able.

This ppa https://launchpad.net/~indicator-multiload/+archive/stable-daily have the packages.

The author of the package thinks that this is not a bug in his code.
"""
The main hack that indicator-multiload uses is that it generates a new icon for each refresh (in a temporary directory on a ramdisk, and there are only 2 icons existing at the same time) . So maybe somewhere in the dash there is an icon cache that keeps growing
