Thanks for this report guys. I am close to completing a significant overhaul to HUD, which should put a lid on these recurring memory leak issues.
The reason you are seeing increased memory usage under normal conditions is because HUD had a voice recognition capability integrated into it for 13.10. This is never used on the desktop (it's only used on the phone), but because of the way I integrated it, it's running even though you can't actually use it with the "legacy" Unity7 user interface. Obviously this doesn't totally account for HUD using several hundred megabytes of memory. This is simply down to old fashioned memory leaks. In addition to a less leak-prone design, the revisions to HUD include splitting the voice engine out into its own service, which will only be started on the phone. Thus, your memory usage should go back down to similar levels as in 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1253593 Title: hud memory usage grows over time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hud/+bug/1253593/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
