After some very thorough analysis, I've concluded that zeitgeist is not at blame here.

If my understanding of the kernel slab allocator is correct, free() doesn't actually free the memory from a program's space until the kernel decides it needs reclaimed. As such, zeitgeist-daemon is not at fault and probably not actually using all that memory.
