Comment 5 for bug 1470235

A couple more data points:

Last week, I rebooted my machine and logged in right away. polkitd was only using 7 MB of memory:

$ ps aux | grep polkitd | grep -v grep
root 1219 0.1 0.0 281164 7244 ? Sl 16:36 0:00 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug

Two days later, polkitd was using only marginally more memory:

$ uptime
 17:08:55 up 2 days, 32 min, 2 users, load average: 1.42, 0.78, 0.37
$ ps aux | grep polkitd | grep -v grep
root 1219 0.0 0.0 291208 7664 ? Sl Jun30 0:00 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug

On Friday, I installed updates and then rebooted without logging in. This morning, before logging in, polkitd was already using nearly 1 GB of memory:

$ uptime
 09:09:38 up 3 days, 15:57, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.05, 0.05
$ ps aux | grep polkitd | grep -v grep
