For the record I think this happened in the pretest as well but I didn't
understand what was going on.
I was talking about my performance problems on #emacs and I was told to play
with GC settings.
Originally the symptoms were a Emacs session that would pause at random times
(often for 30-60 seconds) and then after 2-3 days of uptime would permanently
lock and fail to respond while taking 100% CPU.
Right off the bat I set:
(setq gc-cons-threshold (* 8192 8192))
Then my performance problems seems go go away only to resume after a few hours.
I then set:
(setq garbage-collection-messages t)
I noticed that I was getting a lot of GC messages after this. Increasing the
gc-cons-threshold just seems to postpone the problem.
Could there be a memory leak somewhere? What is the best way to debug this? I
looked into the Emacs gc chapter but I didn't see anything that would help.
ug.
Kevin
