It h= ad > climbed up to 400M before I most recently killed it. What version of Emacs is that, and on which OS? FWIW, my Emacs runs for many weeks if not months, has about 250 to 30= 0 buffers of various sizes, and never exceeds 200MB (usually levels out at 170MB). > By the way, the dismissal of this being a real problem because emac= s can > always reuse the fragmented memory either I don't think there's much fragmented memory in real-life use (barrin= g bugs). The test cases that exhibited a lot of fragmentation are all toy examples that don't really happen.
