Always configured as mentioned, min, ave, max for the 3 instances, either in a
isolated panel or combined with others.

On startup typical is around 20 MB usage.

On a particular i386 Debian Buster image current as of week 7 this year, was
created in a kvm vm and qemu-img'd to a ssd and tested in various hardware. In
the VM the plugin is not used. I enable a panel with the plugin when on real
hardware.

On an intel Q67 (C602 I believe)  with a E3-1225 v1 Sandy Bridge the leakage
starts as seen in the post referenced above. The rate is perhaps 100MB/day.

On a X8DTH-i with currently a  E5540, the leakage rate is 20+MB per day.

I mention in the thread, these are inappropriate machines for aa i386 OS, so I
don't know...Happy to donate some time anyway.

I did pass through a similar amd64 image and did not notice such leakage, but I
wasn't looking for it. That image passed my hardware test for an image
enumerating correctly on various hardware, and I wrote over the image with the
i386, so I lost the opportunity for the moment to evaluate Buster's state on
amd64. I will start testing Buster amd64 hypervisor images soon and will use
such a panel with this plugin, I don't intend any amd64 non-hypervisor use on
real hardware, and the amd64 is in use on a stretch hypervisor with the panel,
and no leaks.

So at the moment, only an issue on buster i386 on the mentioned 64 bit
platforms using xfce4-cpufreq-plugin 1.2.1-1 as packaged by Debian Buster.
