By "zooming", what do you mean?  Do you have a recipe to reproduce this
behaviour, starting from "emacs -Q"?

And you see this RAM-eating behaviour if you do "emacs -Q" and then use
Ctrl+mouse scroll wheel?

bug#53306: Emacs using much RAM on Windows when increasing the font size

[Sebastián Monía]

Hi Kenan,

I cannot reproduce this problem, with my config or 'emacs -Q'.
Is this still a problem for you?

Regards,
Seb
