In #ayatana [1] It was suggested that indicator-multiload might be related, and requested that I see if the problem still arises. there was previously a bug in this area that is marked fix-released (bug 779717).

So, I've disabled indicator-multiload, logged out, and logged back in.

Upon login, top reports the following usage for unity-2d-panel:
  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
 5382 smoser 20 0 553m 49m 27m S 0 1.3 0:01.57 unity-2d-launch
 5744 smoser 20 0 280m 48m 11m S 0 1.2 0:02.07 ubuntuone-syncd
 5381 smoser 20 0 441m 30m 20m S 2 0.8 0:00.73 unity-2d-panel

$ cat /proc/$(pidof unity-2d-panel)/statm
113222 8303 5342 10 0 22611 0

I'll try to remember to report back in 4 hours or so and see if this has changed.
