I generally find that emacs's memory footprint continually increases until I restart it (albeit slowly), and that it starts getting noticeably slower as the memory footprint gets larger, even if the system isn't swapping. I usually exit out and restart every few days because of this. I don't think it's necessarily a leak; it's just that over that period of time I end up doing something or other that uses a whole bunch of memory. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
