Bug Description

When inspecting why my computer was sluggish I found hud-service using a lot of memory:

  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
 3142 sarnold 20 0 1208.1m 515.9m 9.9m S 0.0 3.3 1:44.69 hud-service

Why are menus I never use taking over five hundred megabytes of my memory and so much CPU time?

Thanks
