A 113Mb emacs is, um, not good (even for XEmacs).

My normal tricks, however, for finding memory leaks:

(progn
  (insert "\n")
  (mapcar (function (lambda (z)
		      (insert (format "%s:\n" (buffer-name z)))
		      (mapcar (function 
			       (lambda (x) (insert (format "  %s %s\n" 
							   (symbol-name (car x))
							   (cdr x))))) 
			      (buffer-memory-usage z)) z))
	  (buffer-list t)))

Doesn't turn up anything really really huge buffer wise...  Is there a
function to get a lits of all current variables in use?  That could
then help determine the size of maybe an "overweight" variable.
