I find particularly of interest the growth of Emacs processes while
idle.

Yesterday I restarted Emacs and over the next 18 hours I left my
laptop idle with Emacs as the focused application. My Emacs has grown
to 3GB and every time I select my Emacs window it will grow by a few
MB while I watch in htop.

I will restart it again tonight and leave it focused, and see if I can
reproduce the growth. It also appears that the growth is not linear,
slower at first and hard to see, but in the multiple MB at a time
later when the total is in GB.

Again I use emacs in daemon mode with one or more emacsclient
processes connected (x11 and terminal). I use StumpWM in full screen
mode with my emacsclient, and if it's focused it seems the growth
continues despite xscreensaver coming on and dimming the screen.
