Bug Description
It seems gnome-software is running in the background all the time. Not a big deal if it was lightweight, but it seems to use hundreds of MB (from smem output):
PID User Command Swap USS PSS RSS
2291 jan /usr/bin/
A total of over 400MB in RAM and swap combined.
After killing and restarting, it takes "only" a bit over 100MB.

Dear All,
being a newbie I do not know whether I should start a new bug report, or it is fine to comment here. In my case gnome-software uses 27.6 GiB after leaving the computer untouched for overnight.
Same version of gnome-software. Please find system monitor screenshot attached.
