SUMMARY
Plamashell starts using about 400kbytes of memory and after 5:30h it is using more than 8G ! 
Must be a memory leak somewhere.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I collected the memory used by plasmasheel with a simple script. The data is attached.
Note that, between 12:00h and 13:30h it was my lunch time, the computer was idle, even so, the memory usage increased from 3665792 to 5375696 bytes.
After 5:30h since the KDE was started it was using 8142588 bytes.


OBSERVED RESULT
Memory usage increase over time.

EXPECTED RESULT
A more discrete usage of memory.

Aha, in that case it is most likely Bug 466362 which is fixed for the upcoming Plasma 5.27.5 release.
