memory leak in upowerd ?

root:eldersoftheinternet:~/# grep VmPeak /proc/$(pgrep upowerd)/status

killed it to prevent others to debug it. Funny enough elders is the only workstation with that much upowerd mem usage.

I'd vote for removal, but anyway to prevent discussion just update sometime.

It could be your wireless mouse, which makes the difference.
