I finally did, and, under X11 (non-toolkit build), things have indeed
improved drastically. With my full configuration, Emacs went down to
allocating "only" ~100Mb per day with that fix. Then, just on a whim, i
tried to disable a trick i use to hide the modelines, by altering their
faces like this (yes, it's a dirty hack, and i'm probably missing a
better way):
(let ((bg (frame-parameter nil 'background-color))
(ol "burlywood3")
(ul "grey65"))
(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :box nil :height 1
:background bg :foreground bg
:overline ol :underline ul :extend t)
(set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :box nil :height 1
:background bg :foreground bg
:underline ul :extend t)))
now, when i do *not* use the above code, extra RAM per day goes down
from 100Mb to less than 20Mb. Does that make any sense? Maybe it's a
red-herring.
So, in X11, i am much happier: things stabilise at around 700Mb, with
only small increments, and i can also see Emacs returning memory to the
system every now and then.
Unfortunately, the situation with the pgtk build has not improved at
all. I actually think it's gone worse since i last tried: a pgtk emacs
running in wayland (i've tried with sway and river) goes up to a 2Gb
footprint in just a couple hours of use (and shows no sign of stopping).
So there i stick to tty emacs in kitty or foot (BTW, i think the bug fix
you mention above also affected tty emacs, because it's also consuming
around 25% less memory than it used to).
Thanks,
jao

who knew such things: "Does Emacs have the Buddha nature?" The master
contemplated this for some time, and answered: "I don't see why not,
it has about everything else."
