This morning I have noticed my system is extremely slow and not very
responsive. I thought it is, as it always happened before, a duo
Iceweasel + Chromium who have om-nom-nommed all of my memory, but no!

Running htop revealed upowerd had about 2700K allocated, more than 2400K
of them resident… and growing!

Killing upowerd brought an immediate effect of returning responsiveness
to my laptop even with both Iceweasel and Chromium running with lots of
tabs open.

How come this could possibly happen? :)

2700K doesn't sound much. Did you mean 2700 MB ?

Can you run upowerd in valgrind to find out, where it leaks memory?
