I confirm that devel branch lily memory usage increased a bit recently
on my x86 Fedora Core box, but there are certainly not as many or huge
leaks as there used to be.  I trust the hackers to fix them before
2.12 :-)

Anyway, it seems logical to a simple user like me that as LilyPond
automates more the engraving process, it uses more memory and CPU time.
