       If that were the case, then one symptom might be that performance
       improves when setting gc-cons-threshold to a _smaller_ value
       ... 

   If it is cumulative over a period of days, they are not getting GC'd.

It has been cumulative over days.  I'll evaluate 

    (garbage-collect)

every day for several days and see whether RMAIL deletions slow down.
