Comment 0 for bug 1635577

I have seen similiar bug reports,but these are really old and are not related to version 16.10. This is way I'm opening a new one.

Currently the unity-panel-service process uses about 11GB of RAM which is definitely too much

Additionally to all standard indicators I have used the owncloud and cpufreq indicator. Don't know if this is related to it.
