[Bug 1299727] [NEW] init --user 100% one core, 2,5 GB memory taken

[karaluh]

Public bug reported:

As in summary. I didn't track the exact steps to reproduce, it seems to
happen when idle. Also Nicotine and Apport have similar issues, so maybe
python is to blame? Started to happen only recently, so probably one of
the latest updates introduced this regression.
