Hi there!
I HAD the same problem on 8 different machines (a notebook, 3 nettops, a netbook, and 3 desktops). OS: 8x Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 32-bit, kernel 3.16.0-38-generic. Polkitd ate up up to 1.7 GB RAM after a while.
My solution: deactivation of the applet 'Multi-Core System Monitor' (http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/79); it was running on each machine. Reboot - all fine so far...
I hope that helps. :)
