Do you have some old articles marked?  Are you using agent?  If so, I
have seen the "exploding process size on folder visit" problem as well
(search for the thread with the subject "any tips for how to tune
Gnus/emacs for low memory usage?") on a laptop with very little
physical memory by today's standards.

The problems were more severe with XEmacs 21.4, than they were with
GNU Emacs 20.7, though the problems were recognizably present there as
well. 

Didn't larsi do some tuning on opening Summary buffers recently, that
should avoid creating so much stuff to be garbage collected?  Or was
that just nntp?

Has anyone looked into the bug with agent fetching all articles
between the oldest ticked articles and the current (ie. re-fetching
articles that were previously expired from the agent)?  It was
reported by Bjørn Mork a couple of weeks back.
