[Bug 984913] [NEW] Update Manager is memory hog and sometimes becomes unresponsive

[Christopher Forster]

Public bug reported:

Hi, Update Manager is behaving too slow, and then the window got frozen,
although the program became responsive again. GNOME System Monitor shows
"Process Properties" & it appears that there might be memory leaks in
Update Manager, as it shouldn't use 239,2 MiB memory & Update Manager
keeps increasing memory usage, which it does on my computer just now.
But the PC is still usable though.
