I think I waited until the CPU consumption of ibus-daemon started to go
down.  I don't remember how many minutes that was or whether I waited
for ibus-daemon to finally drop off the 'top' display.  Probably fewer
than 5 minutes.

I remember that the memory footprint of ibus-daemon did go up, even with
1.5.34.  My impression was that the memory increase was less with
1.5.34, but I don't have any notes on the actual numbers, for either
version of IBus.  For both versions, I'm pretty sure that the system
still showed 4-5GB available memory.

No, the 2 hangs that I saw took 16,714 and 7,152 iterations,
respectively.  Given how long those tests took, I wasn't inclined to run
more tests. :-)
