Message-ID: <m3ef0bmnwd.fsf@leonis4.robolove.meer.net> (raw)
There is obviously some memory leak in emacs and I don't know how to
trace the culprit. Emacs lops up 2GB RSS: ps axuw |grep emacs
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
madhu 5434 6.9 54.2 2235612 2115564 ? SNsl Sep19 66:42 emacs --daemon --debug-init
(garbage-collect) shows
((conses 16 981544 136697)
(symbols 48 56864 5)
(strings 32 312273 12669)
(string-bytes 1 18002558)

So does this look like a X fonts issue? How can I figure out which
package is the culprit.
1. Emacs has a bug where I can't look at /proc/5434/emacs from within
emacs it will only read 16384 bytes from the proc filesystem
2. Trying to Unload a feature hits all sorts of design and
implementation bugs with the cl-generics scourge which is unfortunately
used to implement emacs. Is unloading features likely to help at all in
reducing the memory and getting a clue about the errant package?
