Prior to my post on Monday I didn't notice such a heightened memory
usage, though I cannot swear it didn't occur. Since the release of
Emacs 22.1 and my latest CVS update a day later I've been alternating
between them. With 22.1 I haven't experience an inordinate memory
consumption. On Wednesday with the CVS build the memory consumption
was also not as high as on Monday. But today I was using the CVS
build again and it used a lot of swap in particular, though resident
memory consumption was less than in my OP; when I killed the session
about half an hour ago, Emacs seemed somewhat sluggish and top
reported this:
PID %MEM VIRT SWAP RES CODE DATA SHR nFLT nDRT S PR NI %CPU COMMAND
4734 29.3 707m 560m 147m 1476 686m 6932 22k 0 S 16 0 0.0 emacs
Compare this to what I reported on Monday:
PID %MEM VIRT SWAP RES CODE DATA SHR nFLT nDRT S PR NI %CPU COMMAND
4707 54.5 623m 349m 274m 1476 602m 8336 8928 0 S 17 0 0.0 emacs
Today's CVS Emacs session ran for 14 hours, Monday's ran for 13+
hours, while on Wednesday I had two sessions of about three and a half
and 8+ hours. I didn't notice whether the memory consumption today
and on Monday started increasing more rapidly after eight or nine
hours. The next time I'll try to track it more closely.
