Luc, you simply misunderstand what I said, and so your arguments
_completely_ miss the point, so much so that they are almost absurd.

My point was twofold:

 . 10KB of memory well used is nothing to worry about.  However, 10KB
   of _wasted_ memory is something I don't dismiss too easily, because
   there are other programs running on the same machine, and while
   10KB for Emacs is a negligible amount, it is certainly _not_ so for
   a program with a 50KB footprint that needs to run at the same time.

 . My original motivation for insisting to understand the growth was
   that there could be some other factor at work here (a.k.a. ``bug'').

Now please let's stop this thread because it threatens to deteriorate
into mocking the subject, and the original problem was resolved
already.
