I just looked through my htop and mate-indicator-applet-complete is taking up 483MiB of memory. I'm using a mostly unmodified Mate Ubuntu install.

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release:	24.04
Codename:	noble

P.S.: I use suspend frequently. Maybe that has something to do with it? But even during the writing of this post, it went up to 484. And the CPU usage of the applet is also suspiciously high.
