@Colin - I think this is the same issue described in bug 1199877. The LO menus are included in the global menu bar; to achieve this they are treated as indicators. There is a leak somewhere in the indicator- handling code. A workaround is to remove the indicator-appmenu package, which has the side effect of removing the global menu bar functionality. The u-p-s heap grows apparently unbounded (I've seen it up to 400MB!). GTK maintains a list of signal handlers related to the indicators , and it performs linears searches through that list. It appears that something is not removing handlers from that list. I haven't had time to debug the issue beyond that. There's a backtrace at https://pastebin.canonical.com/97128/ , and more detail in bug 1199877. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1199877 unity-panel-service pegs one of my CPUs at 100% -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Using "top" one can observe that unity-panel-service is pegging one of my CPUs at 100%. This is 100% repeatable. Just start libreoffice, open the menu. Opening the menu thereafter is often faster. But from a clean start of libreoffice one can always trigger this issue. Attached is a video showing the delay in opening a menu. I'm running in a 2.5 Ghz i5 CPU, so 8 seconds equates to 20 billion clock cycles to open a menu.
