Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
Package: 1.5-0ubuntu7.2
Kernel: Linux XXX 3.8.0-23-generic #34~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 29 21:12:31 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
We're starting lxc containers on demand, so there's lots and lots of network interfaces going up and down. Udev emits signal, that goes to upstart-
What happens:
init uses more RAM and more CPU during lifetime, when lots of network interfaces are beeing created/destroyed
What is expected:
init work should not change depending on number of events served

Approximately how many running jobs do you have after you've created 40k containers? If you stop all those network interfaces, is the memory reclaimed?
Please provide further details so we can investigate more fully.
