I reported the large memory leak in clock-applet:

(TLDR: clock-applet grows by 1GB/day when reporting weather)
Ouch. Until this is fixed, I duct-taped around by adding this
line to cron:
*/5 * * * * /home/conrad/kill_clock_applet_leak.sh
Script:
#!/bin/bash
memused="`ps auxwww|grep clock-ap[p]let | awk '{ print $6 }'`"
if [[ $memused -gt 250000 ]]; then
memhuman="$((memused/1024))"
echo "Clock-applet using $memhuman MB, killing panel"
pkill gnome-panel
fi
It's ugly and dumb, but should prevent run-away stupidity...
(kills at 250MB RSS).
I played those games too---I found a direct way of getting memory use of
a given process from ps: memMB=$[`ps -o rss= -C clock-applet`/1024]
BTW, why did you use 'clock-ap[p]let'?
FWIW, here's a snippet that I used to collect data on memory used by the
app vs. time (minutes):
printf -v ti '%(%s)T' -1;
while sleep 60 ; do
printf -v t '%(%s)T' -1;
echo $[($t-$ti)/60] `ps -o rss= -C clock-applet` ;
done
