I'm not surprised: saving a file visited non-literally causes its
contents to be encoded, which generally means we wipe out the text and
replace it with its encoded representation. That this conses _a_lot_,
especially for large files, does not come as a surprise to me.
It seems to be a recent change, so I think it is worth investigating
whether something just increased the amount of consing done by encoding.
It would be worth optimizing this.
