That was because we parsed the changelogs for yum repositories, and had 
it in the database (or in memory pre-10.3).

This implementation only makes a rpm query to get the changelog 
on-demand, and only for installed packages. I haven't tested memory 
usage, but I don't see why it should go up. It is like forking rpm -q 
--changelog package, but doing it using the rpm db directly.
