Hi Jérôme, For the ease of the programmers, I will add a summery here to complete the bug report. Please feel free to add any corrections. Could you also attach a screen print of the output from Top showing the problem? -----------------------
SUMMARY: Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 16.04.10 system-Package: system-config-printer-gnome 1.3.11+20120807-0ubuntu10 Problem is reproducable by the reporter. Steps to reproduce: 1. in XFCE, open terminal 2. run command “Top” 3. type “M” to sort list with highest usage on the top 4. note /usr/share/system-config-printer/applet.py is taking 22MB of memory when not in use. Actual behaviour: Applet.py takes 22 MB of memory, when not in use. Expected behaviour: Applet.py should take less memory when not in use. Additional notes: Bug triager is unable to reproduce this issue.

Most of the time, the printer applet does nothing and thus wastes memory. I think that this applet should be implemented with a compiler which create a binary executable instead of writing a python script or python byte code which will never reach the performances of a binary executable (speed and memory).
