The views (AllView and FrequentView) build a list of all applications they contain. BaseView then diffs between what's currently added, and what needs to be added, and removed. This approach has a problem though: creating an AppIcon or a FolderIcon connects to various signals, and we confuse the garbage collector. When building the list of applications, instead of always creating new icons, try to use already existing icons first.
