You lack a call to sd_bus_unref() here. Without it, your loop contains:

        while (1)
                malloc(1024);

This simple malloc-loop already hogs your system. If I add the
required call to _unref(), your tool runs smoothly on my machine.

I cannot see the relation to kdbus.

What does this have to do with the proxy? Why would resource
consumption go *up* as the proxy users decline? Please elaborate.

Luckily, kdbus does not do this.
