It sounds like my theory was wrong. Does Emacs release the memory to system in general? For example, if you visit a very large file, then kill its buffer and type M-x garbage-collect RET does the memory footprint return to the value it had before visiting the large file? (Btw, I hope you do all these tests in "emacs -Q"; if not, please do.) _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
