Right, digging the logs I find the OOM triggered too often those last
days.  And the process currently looks like:

0  1000 24983 15761  18   0 1387760 819188 47278 S   ?         15:32 /usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-menu-plugin socket_id 16222881 name xfce4-menu id 11891817573 display_name Xfce Men

Restarting it it gets suddenly more reasonable:

0  1000 10461 15761  15   0  18048 12508 47278  S    ?          0:01 /usr/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-menu-plugin socket_id 16447914 name xfce4-menu id 11892828144 display_name Xfce Men

I'll try to find some time to do that in the next days.
