No, I don't have any long ediff sessions. Typically, they do not
last longer than an hour. And my ediff buffers are small, typically
less than 100kb.

This is more difficult to say because I haven't done any bookkeeping
yet. But I'll watch these thing more carefully and let you know.
What I can say is that I don't use ediff very often. I need it once
every two or three days or so (and, as I said, I have short ediff
session with small buffers).

Since I upgraded from GNU emacs 20 to 21 it SEEMS to me that emacs
in general has slowed down for me. But I haven't been able yet to
pin this down. The present bug report on ediff was actually the
first example where I could be a little more explicit.
Usually, in my emacs sessions I am loading and using a bunch of
packages which make it very difficult to pin down the culprit. But
there are several things I am trying right now, and I'll keep you
posted.
