Me too.

This is on a 

	$uname -a
	SunOS suomi 5.3 Generic_101318-70 sun4m sparc

with numbers reported by top(1).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
typical xemacs (both sgnus, VM running):

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
25325 mdb      -14    0   14M   12M sleep   4:38  1.43% 13.69% xemacs-19.14-b

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
barebones(*) xemacs (xemacs -nw -q)
  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
15894 mdb       34    0 7004K 4848K stop    0:01  0.00%  0.00% xemacs-19.14-b

(*) You could build a smaller xemacs now by excluding toolbar
etc. support at compile-time, I think.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
minimal xemacs (xemacs -q):
  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
15597 mdb       34    0 7232K 5700K sleep   0:03  2.24%  1.75% xemacs-19.14-b

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
minimal xemacs + my .emacs (efs,dmacro,fill-adapt,jka-compr,etc. required):

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
15597 mdb       34    0 8436K 7032K sleep   0:12 11.18%  0.00% xemacs-19.14-b

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
minimal xemacs + my .emacs + sgnus:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
15597 mdb       34    0   11M 9352K sleep   0:37  3.30%  2.52% xemacs-19.14-b

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
immediately after quitting sgnus:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
15597 mdb       34    0   10M 9076K sleep   0:38  2.36%  0.00% xemacs-19.14-b

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, if I kill off all the buffers and let xemacs run overnight,
when I return I the morning I find the RES size has shrunk to something
a bit less than 5Mb.

  -mb-
