hud-service is using 800 MB, is this necessary?

Question

hud-service in system monitor is currently using 800 MB of memory. Is this normal? What is it for? Is there a way I can reduce it?

Sadly this is this bug which is being looked at and a fix will hopefully be available soon in the software updates...

You could kill the hud-service in the system monitor and recover all the memory it was using, plus it will restart the service:

killall -9 hud-service
