plasmashell - runs arround 120% CPU usage, needs more and more memory over time
if the memory of the system plasmashell crashes.

With the previous version (plasma5 5.9), I did not have these problems!

I have this problem on 2. Systems (PC, Laptop)

In order to make the memory free again:
killall plasmashell; kstart plasmashell &

Reproducible: Always
