It could be that a large part of memory that is mapped into the Emacs
process is actually free, and glibc keeps it because it cannot release
it to the system for some reason.

When you get a significantly larger memory footprint again, please
invoke the function 'malloc-info', and post here everything it writes
to stderr stream.  The data this produces will show how much memory is
actually in use.

Thanks.
