Hello,
When travelling, I often use an OpenPandora system as my device for
email, running Debian GNU/Linux with Emacs and gnus. This system has
512MB RAM and 512MB swap. Using gnus while connected and plugged,
everything is fine. However, if unplugged, memory use goes crazy and I
end up swapping which is not good.
This situation, I believe, arose when I switched from emacs 24 to emacs
25 a few months ago.
The following table shows various memory statistics from "top":
| step | virt | res | mem% | |
| | [M] | [M] | [%] | |
|-------------+------+-----+------+-------------------------|
| start emacs | 109 | 58 | 11 | |
| start gnus | 172 | 121 | 24 | |
| imap | 182 | 130 | 26 | gmail server 15k emails |
| nntp | 368 | 237 | 47 | gmane.emacs.devel |
| exit gnus | 368 | 275 | 55 | |
If plugged, the number change very little from the first row.
At the end, when unplugged, the following is what M-x memory-usage RET
gives:

I have no idea where the memory is going.
Any pointers etc. would be most welcome!
Thanks,

Actually, even when connected & plugged, memory use eventually creeps up
to the amounts noted in first post. My emacs instance currently has
386MB virtual and 281MB residence sizes. The output from memory-usage
(with some details elided for confidentiality) is interesting:
Garbage collection stats:
((conses 8 3121117 309714) (symbols 24 80506 326) (miscs 20 26942 22925) (strings 16 377132 42952) (string-bytes 1 8858270) (vectors 8 145631) (vector-slots 4 4148946 77750) (floats 8 15329 1137) (intervals 28 287150 2991) (buffers 520 196))
=> 23.8MB (+ 2.36MB dead) in conses
