In Rmail, if I type d u C-x C-s, it causes a GC at the end of saving. I can do this over and over and it GCs every time. I think this indicates a bug; namely, that something is doing too much consing. My Rmail file is around 10 meg, and has 471 messages. But I don't see why that should matter for C-x C-s. Just to explore, I visited another 10meg file in Fundamental mode and got the same behavior. I went to the end and type 1 DEL C-x C-s. It gc's each time. Then I tried visiting it with find-file-literally. That way, I could type 1 DEL C-x C-s and it would save without gc. So I think something concerned with Mule is doing too much consing.
