Constant (Enormous) memory usage from start

Link to original bug (#728237)
Description
This bug was also present in 3.10, (and I hoped it would be resolved in 3.12, but it presisted)
Using pure Arch installation, with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3360M CPU @ 2.80GHz and 8GM RAM
Steps to reproduce (it is 100% reproducible): Open top in terminal Start up empathy
I can observe 100% CPU usage on it, while memory usage is rising to about 14% After that, CPU usage drops to 0, but it still eats 14% memory
After that, when I open chat window, new process is spawned (empathy-chat), and it again has same effect, 100% CPU usage until it reaches 14% RAM
And just like that, about 2.5GB of memory is wasted
