If that were the case, then one symptom might be that performance
improves when setting gc-cons-threshold to a _smaller_ value, such as
1000. Then Emacs would collect garbage (and consequently unused
markers slowing down the operation) quite more often.
If it is cumulative over a period of days, they are not getting GC'd.
Markers that are pointed to would not get GC'd.
Overlays would not get GC'd.
