I had the memory leak occur again and this time I had the
glibc-malloc-trace-utils loaded and running from the start.
So my emacs grew to 8GB in RAM, and what was curious is if it was a
background task (not window focused on an emacsclient), then the
memory stayed the same. When I had the window focused, I could watch
the memory constantly increasing in htop a few megs at a time.
Garbage collection stats:

I started emacs with:
MTRACE_CTL_FILE=mtraceEMACS.mtr LD_PRELOAD=~/software/glibc-malloc-trace-utils/libmtrace.so ~/.local/bin/emacs --daemon >> ~/.config/emacs/emacs.log 2>&1
This created some huge files. By the time I reached 8GB in RAM, the
mtr file for the main process (I think) was 53 GB. I also have little mtrace
files littered everywhere in different project directories.

I converted the mtraceEMACS.mtr.15236 to my.wl using trace2wl.
The trace_run command did this output:

These files are impossible to share around, is there anything I can
run to extract anything else useful from them?
% ~/software/glibc-malloc-trace-utils/trace_statistics mtraceEMACS.mtr.15236

I did follow the instructions for downsampling, but I haven't a clue
what to do in Octave. Is it worth posting those files?
I have the impression this is more about how often more RAM was
requested, and not the source of the call?
I should mention I'm present in #emacs and happy to discuss there.
