OK, you're right, doesn't seem to have anything to do with synctex. I
realised that even without compiling, every time I opened a .tex file I
started to get memory leaks (quicker when I scrolled up and down through
the text). It didn't really matter if it was a luatex file or not -- luatex
is a red herring (it was simply that I've been mainly using tex via org,
and so hadn't noticed the leak before)

After turning on and off various things in my .emacs, I finally "fixed" the
leak, by disabling "preview"

(Specifically by commenting out:
; (require 'preview-latex)
; (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
)

I don't use preview anyway, so this is a fine solution for me.  I'm not
quite sure why preview is causing the leak, though I suspect perhaps
there's something idiosyncratic (and wrong) about my .emacs setup.

Also, this also plugged the leak under GNU Emacs 23. I tried the snapshot
of Emacs 24, and I still have a leak there (though I don't think it's
AUCTeX-related).
