I have noticed that loading my org files increases my emacs memory from
3% (out of 8Gb) to around 7%. Later, the memory grows to around 13-20%
(with most of memory reported by garbage-collect). I have no idea what
causes it, but I suspect org eating the memory. Seeing how much memory
is used by buffer-local variables in org buffers would help. Similarly,
total memory consumption in variables from individual packages would be
helpful to pinpoint why the memory usage is high.

Best,
Ihor
