I noticed an enormous memory consumption of emacs, but I didn't notice the warning during compilation for a long time and I have `inhibit-splash-screen' set to t. Shouldn't we add an appropriate `display-warning' in `startup.el' if `pure-space-overflow' is t even if `inhibit-splash-screen' it t? And/or add a "sleep ..." in the Makefile in this case.
