Okay, I think that I have chased down the issue here (at least to a
first approximation.

This bit of trace above was what was confusing me, as I couldn't see why
there were so many calls to ido-find-file, or the time taken in
ad-Advice-call-interactively. Actually most of this seems to be coming
from ido-ubiquitous.el which advinces call-interactively. Certainly the
problem goes away without ido-ubiquitous.

I haven't worked out yet whether there is a specific problem with
ubiquitous yet, or whether it really is leaking memory. Or whether, it's
just the nature of the beast.
