Subject: bug#43389: 28.0.50; Emacs memory leaks using hard disk all time
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2020 18:17:28 +0100	[thread overview]

Ok, here is my latest memory log and a matching libmtrace:

https://trevorbentley.com/mtrace3/

This capture is unique in three ways:
 1) Compared to my other tests, this one did not run emacs-slack 
 and did about half of its leaking from X11 focus events, and the 
 other half drifting upwards during idle.  This session has barely 
 done anything.

 2) I added a custom (malloc-trim) command, and called it after 
 making my standard memory log.  At the end of the log, you can 
 see that after the trim memory usage fell from 4GB to 50MB. 
 Unfortunately, this malloc_trim() might make the libmtrace trace 
 harder to make sense of.  But, at least in this case, it meant 
 99% of the memory could be given back to the OS?

 3) I ran the built-in emacs profiler.  The profiler memory 
 results are in the log, both in normal and reversed format, with 
 the largest element expanded.  I don't know how to interpret it, 
 but it looks like maybe a periodic timer started by helm is 
 responsible for 3+GB of RAM?

Also note that the (garbage-collect) call is timed now.  318 
seconds for this one.
