Ah, that I CAN explain: it's an artifact of the way I ran the trials.

For the 800k cases I'd start the emacs daemon from the commandline, and
then start gathering the data and cycling the frames.

For the 80k and 8000k cases I'd start the daemon, and then take an
extra step:

  Open a single client frame to (setq gc-cons-threshold whatever)

I should have started gathering the usage data before I opened this
first frame, but I guess I didn't. So the memory usage plots the 800k
start when no frames have ever been created, but the 80k and 8000k start
after 1 frame was created.

So this difference isn't indicative of anything interesting.
